rhythm sets -am I missing something here?

25 Nov 2012, 14:45

This is for live use. Drums are Roland TD9, midi out to Fantom X6 to trigger Fantom's kits, thereby giving a 'bigger' drum sound. This works pretty well but because of the weird way our drummer has his TD9 set up, some of the notes out don't correspond with the X6 notes for particular sounds. E.g. tom 4 on TD9 goes out on note 27 (D1) which on X6 doesn't have anything assigned to it. To remedy this I have buried into the X6's individual waveforms to create a matching tom sound and assign it to that note.

My question is......is there a quicker way? I would have thought the most obvious way of doing this - assigning a particular percussion sound to a key - would just be to select the sound you want in the Rhythm Patch Edit screen - Pro Edit. But although you can name a rhythm tone it doesn't appear you can change it! I must be missing something here surely?????

Here is one way that might work for you. In the Rythymn patch pro edit screen select F4 Util menu-and rythymn tone copy. You can then copy the sound to any midi note destination. You will have to write the rythymn set to a user or card location if you want to use it again after powering off.

Romey, thanks. I had wondered about that. It just seems a strange way of doing it instead of a more straight forward assign function which appears to be missing. But I guess that's the best it will get, so much appreciated - might save me a few hours fiddling with basic waveforms.

You welcome pc. There may be another way to do it but that is one way I know of. Basically, You choose a sound and assign it to a midi note using tone copy. If you choose a note and then want to assign a sound, it means delving into individual waveforms.

Well it's definitely an improvement on what I was doing. Getting into the individual waveforms is just time-consuming although it is pretty flexible in getting to the sound you want.
