Hi people... Marco
Forgive me as I am not at all familiar with the RC-20XL. Every sample
you record in live, as long as you have the metronome turned on, will record and
playback in sync. Naturally you have to set up your global preferences if
you want to record midi. If you want to make all your loops identical in length,
simply create and save the appropriate empty multiple clip view
settings ahead of time. Of course you have to arm all the tracks and map your
midi controls with respect to the saved set ahead of time too. You can even
create clip view envelope templates to make life expressly easy for
preprogramming's sake.
Here's a cool trick: Create a 4-5 scene multi track session view with the
above described method. Drag and select all your scenes at once and select copy
from the drop down menu. Now, create a division immediately following
(below) your 4-5 scene set. You can do this by highlighting the last
scene's master play box. Choose and select "insert scene". Now, starting
right after the blank scene, drag and highlight the area required to fill
the above scene grouping and then select "paste". You may even be able to just
duplicate the whole nine yards and then split it via the insert scene command.
Then set up the "follow actions" to suite you however is best and you can also
tweak up your warp settings. What this will set you up for is a wild
harmony ride via your transpose controls or a little beat mangle tragedy to
keep it all interesting. I really just depends on what your after.
So the only time you need touch your laptop is to load different sets,
if even then. That being because since you can use the insert scene trick
just as easily to create & divide different session view loop planets
ahead of time to land on (all together different than the last batch - new
song - whatever) via your midi foot controller or keyboard. You can pre-create
hours of loopotomy inducing madness all in the same set!
BTW, you can always set up your percussion track's clips ahead of time to
act as "master loops" You can even create pre made silent click tracks to
master loop from as well. Just turn down the volume when saving the set. Later
when you open the set, up pops the set's invisible conductor and every loop you
make syncs to it.
I may not be understanding you at all however Marco. If that's the
case, my bad. Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL.com. |
