Conference napalm::commusic_v1

Hi folks:

   It's me 925.0 maker. The DDD-1 is very nice drummer, it's flexible,
powerfull, samples 1.8 seconds with a 12 bit resolution... its quite
impressive. BUT I DIDN'T COME WITH SOME REAL GOOD PATTERNS. This
reply is to hunt drum owners who have paper on basic patterns, fills
and songs. The DDD-1 came along with about 20 8Bit patterns, 20 16Bit
patterns, about 4 shuffle, 3 sambas, AND ONLY ONE BOSSANOVA !!!!!

   DDD-1, as other good drum machine, is capable of bit editing. This is,
you can edit every bit of a pattern, step by step. So what I need are
maybe other standard patterns from other drum machines... one bossa, I
don't believe it. I really hate the 8 and 16 bit patterns of my machine.
The same sound with..., a ride, claps, tom-tom-tom, cowbeeeell, are just
the same, the same, the same, the same....

   In return I can offer, of course custom made, latin jazz rythms, strong
'merengues' and many variation of 'salsas'. I'm working on new ones too.

   The fever is burning me....!!! haaaaayyyyyyy

	If  I'm  not  mistaken,  the  DDD-5  has  lots  of pre-recorded
	patterns.  It's very similar to the DDD-1, except  I  think  it
	has  fewer  pads  that  have their functions/ drums multiplexed
	(anybody out there  got  one?)   It's  also  a  few  hundred  $
	cheaper.

	I'm  really  happy with my DDD-1.  I don't have any patterns do
	give out, because I do real simple custom  jobs  (e.g.,  simple
	pattern  in  four, leading to a chorus with a double-time snare
	build followed  by  a  cymbal  crash,  etc.),  then  erase  the
	patterns  when I'm done (I never save).  I listened to the demo
	patterns (real flashy and stupid), then flushed them all.

    Those looking for material on what to program into drum machines
    are referred to my lengthy series of notes in the DREGS::MUSIC
    conference.  Note 103, "Drums and Drumming for the Musically Literate
    NonDrummer".  One of these days I may actually finish it.

I don't think the DDD-5 has individual outputs for each instrument.
I think it is stereo and allows voice panning, tho.

To all 925 readers:

   Please try to keep Vax-Notes clean. If you decide to reply to a note
be creative and instructive. Don't fill it up with single sentences or
just reply topic titles.

   Anyway... to 925.2, you pointed out the DDD-5... I already bought the
DDD-1, what I want to know if someone has good drum patterns, not only from
Korg but from any other machine. I'll really appreciate.

    925.4 Todd, you're right DDD-X uses six outputs where any sound can
    be assigned. I'm not sure about stereo panning, I'll have to check
    out.
    
    925.3 I'll check out what's new there.
    
   If anyone is interest in 2 bars and 4 bars real filtered latin patterns,
send me a notification thru E-net LISBOA::FAST, PLAYA::MERLIN. Of course, all
of them are custom made.

    Dear Mr. Saez...
    
    As you'll soon learn, the contributors to COMMUSIC are THE BEST
    source of information on MIDI, synths, multi-track recording, etc.
    you're likely to find in one place. Someone once stated that the
    ideas presented in this conference are at least a year ahead of
    the industry.
    
    You'll also find that since most of us live in the Metro-west area
    of Boston we often get together for jams, product comparisons and
    sometimes just for drinks. I've never met anyone from this file
    I didn't like. Whenever a contributor from out of the area (Tucson,
    England. etc.) has a reason to be here, you can rest assured that
    99% of us will end up in someone's studio for a session.
    
    As such, there is a lot of personal banter bouncing around between
    the "meat" in the notes. It's what makes this file fun. To request
    that it not be filled up with single sentences or just topic title
    replies would make this conference as interesting as your average
    owners manual. Any reply you consider to be not worth your time
    can easily be avoided by use of KP3.
    
    Welcome to COMMUSIC. Please don't try to change a successful format.
    
    Regards,

    Dear Edd...
    
>    Welcome to COMMUSIC. Please don't try to change a successful format.
    
    I got the message... It's just that I really need a hand on this matter.

    Anyway I'm not that old so forget about the Mr.

    I'll get used to COMMUSIC as well as other notes conferences. I think

    it's because of my English that I may not get across my ideas very well.

    Orlando.

    No problem, Orlando.
    
    Once again, welcome.

    I got a DDD-1. I thought one of the advantages of it was the fact
    that it didn't have built in patterns that had to be kept. And that
    as a programming machine it was really easy and expressive. I am
    not sure therefore that I understand your problem. If you are looking
    for good drum lick's and ideas I guess you need a real drummer to
    help you out. Somebody told me there were one or two of these
    who read this file. I actually saw one of them play once.
    I always scrub my DDD patterns after use. How can we anotate and
    transfer ?
