"No, I'm saying that with a song that starts at the beginning and stops at the end its impossible to change this when playing live. I need to select patterns and turn and and off channels when I play live. Play a bit with an MC-303 or something similar you'll understand what I'm talking about. Or the demo of ReBirth should do."
if you dont want the song to start and stop make a long song with changing parts throughout the entire song. btw i get ALL software for FREE. i have the legit version of rebirth never used it.
the korg KARMA might be up your ally. its a new synth and it has the SAME sound engine as the triton.
"Well, good for you. But I WANT the same parts playing in my song. I NEED repetetiveness. You are using the sequencer as if it was a tape recorder. As I mentioned, I already got one, and hence, I don't need a sequencer to replace it."
if your playing "LIVE" why would you want repition? i thought playing live was just that.....strange indeed. btw when i mean "LIVE" i dont mean just standing in front of a crowd. i mean playing different riffs using reall instruments and chord progressions etc etc. like a live rock or funk band who i NEVER see sequencing with an mpc.
"See, I do."
is it really live? are you really PLAYING the stuff right then and there? in MY opinion if your playing a guitar and on stage its live. however if it is sampled and being triggered from an mpc it isnt live. just my opinion. i hope you understand what im saying.
"I am at a complete loss here. I'm shocked. What on earth made you ask such a question?"
you misunderstand what i am saying. if i go through and put everything where it is supposed to be than i dont need to mute or turn a knob. its ok to be a knob freak
"I'm a professional computer programmer, with 20 years of experience of computers. You don't know me, so I wouldn't expect you to know this, but this is how it is: It may be that the reason I disagree with you is because of lack of knowledge, but trust me on this: It's rarely from my part...
"
lol good come back. lack of knowledge on your part? your the same person who said go reel to reel instead of 24 track tape. 24 track 1 inch tape IS reel to reel so i think you should rethink that statement.
"I have."
did it suck?
"Of course. My point was that it's HARD to figure out how to make it do what I want. And when I after a couple of hours of work with a program still hasn't even gotten then base of a song down, then that program is hindering me in making music, not helping."
20 years of computer experience? how long have you been playing? in my opinion your statement is a PARADOX.....but hey thats my opinion. i have only had my pc for 2 years and nobody showed me how to operate the programs. i have been playing for 3 years. maybe age has something to do with it. however if i can manipulate and use it. you with your "experience"( i cant vouch for that) should be able to also.
"Time to start learning, then..."
please name 5 acts in sweden or america who sequence live with an mpc?
i can name 5 acts in america who DONT use an mpc to sequence and if they change up they trigger from the keyboard. funkadelic, prince,michael jackson,anita baker,snoop dog.the only group i can think of that MIGHT use it live is outkast. never been to a live cocert where an mpc was uses. i never saw a tv concert where an mpc was used.
