Arx 03 problem

6 Sep 2012, 08:14

Hiya

I'm trying to build a live set to cover Valerie (Ronson version). I'm trying to use the arx 03 brass card with it but I'm having a major problem. When playing the chorus bras riff (2 note chords, stepping up) the brass just sounds all over the place and sounds like the card can't decide which notes each player should play giving a glitching effect at times similar to when you try to play a monophonic patch with more than one note which sounds awful. Can anyone help me please?

Cheers

Sounds to me like it's time to do some editing with the patches. You can assign what player plays first,and what instrument they play,how prominent the player is..etc

As far as the glitching goes,don't know if you were adding anything extra like EQ,but make sure that you are not overdriving your volume levels and not distorting...

Hope this Helps...I'm a new user myself,figuring things out as I go,and only have had the Fantom with the brass expansion for about 2 months...LOVE IT!

Hi ya,

Yeah its a fantastic sounding expansion. The problem is due to latency I think as the card decides what players play which notes it creates a noticeable lag at times and unforuntately the brass chorus riff in Valerie is more obvious than most. Managed to work around it for the most part by mixing it with some standard fantom brass and slightly alterting the way its played to minimise the effect. Its a shame because the latency is the ARX 03's biggest failing.
