Well drummachines suck, generally. But i was supprised, the r-100 kinda sounds
acoustic. The hats anyway, and there's kick in the drum.. cannot complain
if your doing techno. But we bought it for the sync possibilitys. onot really
the sound. This little box has got: sync24/48(in+out) midiclk(in/out)
trigpulse(out)start/stop (out)... feels like i have forgotten one or two
syncs, well you get the hang of it anyway.
And 8 separate outputs aren't that bad. 3 sounds per output, though u cannot
choose witch sound goes where.. The sounds go in groups of three, 3 sounds
from each pad 3*8=24sounds, the multitimbralityone is limited
to one of the 3 sounds from one pad(group)). And one group is assignable
to individual out 1-8 and/or stereo out. IMPORTANT Group/pad1 goes to output 1
noone else (well as i said chooseable ind.out and/or stereo-pair).
Was that clear?
There's more. I really haven't had time to explore it to the fullest. I don't
really know how to make a song. But a pattern is the easiest way i've seen. If
you can program by realtime playing, one sound at a time.
The steptime programmer is a bit unease at the beginning. Until you figured it
out.
Back to the sounds a minute. You can tune them 15 steps and set volume 15 steps
(i doubt it though...) and you can set the velocity sensitivity on the sounds
(yes the pads are velocity sensitive).
ehm.. anything more? oh yeah.. you've got a volume knob for the stereopair and
another one for the metronome (eh.. hehe quite cool)
and a separate out for the metronome. bye!
