I am working on a trance
project for the first time,
since I like the dance music,
and have a question.
I don't have a sampler, but I
do have a Roland Sound Canvas
hooked up to a Cakewalk Sampler.
One problem I have run into is the
difficulty in playing even a 4 bar
note pattern for a loop wherein each
note is exactly the same in touch,
dynamics, and velocity.
I've adjusted the "velocity" of
the track, but that doesn't do
the trick, oddly enough.
The loop in "We Don't Get Fooled
Again" by The Who comes to mind as
a great example of a rhythmic pulsing
loop. (The opening synthesizer part)
Now I've tried playing a 4 bar
note pattern, looping it, and then
quantizing it to different note values,
but still, the groove is difficult to
achieve because each note sounds
a little different. In other words,
without the exact note velocity or
pressure, the groove gets lost, even
when quantized.
It still sounds "clunky," not tight.
