Finding samples on the 606

Post by **Chulukinat** » Wed May 13, 2009 8:47 pm

How do you guys find your samples? Like when you've made a pattern a while back and now you wanna tweak the samples or rerecord the pattern. The only way I know how to do this is let the beat play and try out the banks one by one :S

Anybody has any tips?

I guess there is no other way to do it.

We cannot change our pad bank's names so we're pretty limited in this case.
Plus it's rather easier than harder to get lost in those 32 padbanks

however I recommend you doing often card bakups ( copying the whole roland folder into your pc, and putting it in a folder with the name of the beat ), so that you can know that you have only 1 project on your cf at a time, and when u want to get back to some previous projects, just find the proper bakup on ur pc, load it and be ready to change thigs as you want

peace

use micro edit, select each track it and tells whats notes, padbanks and pad are being used. thank god the pads light up though it would be even worse if they didnt :lol:

its good to always use the same banks for certain things... like i'll use bank 10 for vinyl samples... bank 9 for anything that i wanna autochop or sound effects that i wanna use... bank 11 for drums.... bank 12 for bass.... and anything after that is random crap that doesnt fit in the categories... its nice having the freedom of so many banks (mpc users only get 4)

...and yo...on a side note....is there a function to erase all ur patterns at once... or do I have to keep erasing them one by one... thats kind of annoying... cuz even when u format ur card... the patterns still remain

as far as I know the only way is do it one by one, would be nice if you could delete more than one at a time.

I use the pattern naming to the utmost.

Like I'll name a pattern: ___ pb10fx9&11 or whatever

In other words I have a self-code so the padbank # is somewhere in the pattern name- and if I have room I'll add the FX that I like to use with that pattern, etc..

Yup, unfortunately this is true for the MV series, no pads that light up, pretty annoying at times.
