...on my Roland R-5.
The programming options are seemingly endless. Nuance, tuning, panning, velocity, and half a dozen others I can't even remember using right now.
I programmed my first drum track start to finish last night for my next song. It took five and a half hours to write all the patterns in real time and arrange them at the correct measures.
This evening I went back and panned everything, made velocity adjustments and randomized the main rhythm part for random subtle changes in groove, volume, and velocity. That took about two hours.
This is really a hell of a lot of work, but I think it's because I was learning how to work the machine as well as programming at the same time. The track sounds better than anything I've ever heard coming out of a box. Life-like, and believable. Even if you can tell it's a box.
It was worth the time spent. They sound nice and fat on tape too.
I've recorded the stereo drum tracks to tape and now I have to go back and index it against the measures in the song.
