Hello Bruce,you'd probably be better off leaving a post like this in the Gas Station. I don't have my blue book yet, so I don't know how to sequence multitimbral performance sounds. I do know how to split the keyboard into 4 layers, which would be good for your drum problem. Using the - and + buttons directly under the arpeggiator buttons, you can switch between the 4 layers of the perf. sound. As you press the buttons, you'll see the layer number in the bottom right of the screen change. Start with 1....Then switch the perf. parameter knob on right to bottom row and choose the perf. layer button, 2nd from left. Choose from the banks which sound you want (i.e. Eurokit A). Turn the Parameter knob up to the Note Limit High/Low buttons, and using that, you can decide where and what octave range on the keyboard that sound will have. Just repeat the process, choosing which sounds each 4 layers will have. The thing I like about this, is that each layer can have a different cutoff, rez, lfo, etc. You could have4 drum kits with different cutoffs layered, and as the 3 fx processors are assignable to layers, you could distort One, chorus another, and have one heavily reverbed, and the last one dry. I like splitting it, because at the moment I'm using a dinky 4trk hardware sequencer, so instead of using all my tracks, I just have to use 1...very useful! Even after I switch to software seq, I think I'll still do this. For all you people who say the Cs1x is a crappy toy, name one synth with a $600 new price tag that gives you these features! I only wish it had an extra pair of outputs.
