Re: Drum machine set up for looping rack

[Hans Lindauer <hans@ernieball.com>]

I used to have a DR-5, too.  Couldn't you set up a drum kit that had
two identical (or different) sets of sounds, but with one set panned hard
left and the other panned hard right?  As long as the time signature
was the same for both rhythms, they could both play at the same time. 
You can make a beat on one side while the other side is playing, and then
crossfade it in.  It's a great idea.  I had to use two different
drum machines to do this. Three, actually. :^)
