XW-Addict

To get more versatile I've stepped into arpeggios a time back, at first because for easy transport with a stage, I had quiet a learning curve cause the traditional way wasn't as useful you know my usual wacky stuff. But steadily gained expirience bit by bit. Have a few for transient kind of music spread and nameless didn't think would be for the community , I love the community arp, Especially learning from them the Baba O'reilly ones are gorgeous and concise with the sounds. The community are more practical with them than I am. Hope to catch on to post some useful ones myself.

Maybe not what you had in mind give it a shot , maybe we can make it sound how you imagined it.

I remember someone did some narly wave/tone stepping with the solo synth using nrpn , I have to look it up on soundcloud hope it still there very long while ago 🙂

Some of the stuff I'm working on with the PX5S. I leave this kind of stuff for weeks cause it doesnt feel done for me, after a few weeks I listen to it again and for some reason it sounds okayish. Some weekends and during week days well spend on the PX5S I say. Think its time to turn these in proper music knowing it will take longer with editing in a daw a new thing to learn I guess.

Its up , Side note I remembered the XW does this per key with full phrases.

OneNote View File One Note This an example file for what I'm explaining right here. So it works like this Zone 1 , has regular drumkit with phrase 92 for accompany Zone 2 where hexlayer kit is , Both files Onenote Stage and Onenote phrase are needed. Be sure when downloading Onenote phrase to assign it to Zone 2. What I've did is make individual one note sequence per key from C2 To F2. Could done the phrase on the keyboard but did it in a daw lots of possibilities. This only works best with one hexlayer note fixed to a key like D2# what I experimented so far. When the phrase plays each key plays a different pattern , other layers wont get heard because there one layer on. More layers possible but distance between notes where the layers stored is needed for instance one layer on C2 the other on G3 etc , To compliment two patterns with each other. The reason I chose to work with daw with this because its easier to experiment patterns with locking certain note keys. I wonder now how crazy the shapes of the pattern could be and trigger each note by it. Its a cool something I've bumped at making phrase motion , grooves and such. and example audio file.

Soon for the "All" file, I'll see for the coming weekend for an example, Have to try a few things out if it's only for hexlayers. I'll make work in the explanation as well. It's cool something I've bumped at.

I was recently doing a groove on the PX5S and had this cool thing going with a hexlayer which was set as a drum kit, Here is the cool thing I've discovered. Each hexlayer tone can be key-mapped to a single key, It can make a hexlayer drum kit or wave sequence hexlayer. In this case I made a drum kit with each layer on a key. Hexlayers make it possible to set each key to an octave range. I've set it up like a regular drumkit. When a drumkit is made from a hex layer it can be played as one and a phrase can be recorded with a phrase sequence where the key is set on fixed to play this hex-layer as a drum kit . I wanted to try something different. I wanted several one-note patterns using the phrase sequencer on this hex layer tone I used as a drum kit as if the hi-hat had different patterns to play with. Worked perfectly and then I had the idea can I play this one-note phrase on another key and extend different patterns over the range of the keys just like I've recorded it in the phrase. Yes of course it can and it did play over an octave range. just as it can be recorded in the phrase sequence. Imagine it like recording a hi-hat pattern in the phrase sequencer on each key in the octave in a variety. What I did was record a pattern on four notes each skipping a few notes and four notes again in an extended variety. patterns recorded in the phrase can then be played according to how a musical sequence should sound, Because of the versatility of the hex layer where tones can be fixed on a key range, there are new ways of patterns at the disposal of single tones or layers of them by the key range they are set. This one-note sequence can be anything I've tried washy synth sequence and slow to fast hi-hat sequence. Lots can be done with note duration, filters, Amp, and motion recording on a single note. The trick here is getting several one-note patterns recorded in the phrase sequence where each pattern should be played over in the octave the phrase key is set from the arp select menu. To highlight this means recording each pattern as overdub at the beginning of the phrase sequencer recording over again or else each pattern gets spaces if the individual patterns are recorded in one go. To emphasize because there are six hex layers fixed in the key range like a drumkit record each pattern individually in the phrase sequence, Overlap each one-note pattern by simply overdubbing the phrase recording. Or use a daw to make each single key pattern into a MIDI file and convert this MIDI file with the PX5S app to a phrase. The drumkit setup works best this makes it possible to have the desired tone being played by that pattern. It's a bit of experimenting. Its possible like with make shift hi-hats and synths that handle single one=note patterns. I knew phrase recording is versatile but I never came up with this to this extent early until I made a groove with a stage in which that sound and pattern caught my ears. I'm releasing an all-file sometime when I'm done experimenting with this.

hear hear, I say we have been quietly waiting for some time, And that time has been spent very well. Learning to adjust sound steadily over time has shown how very enriched the Air tones are. Unlike most of you who truly create the sound you want and discover how it is those facets that explain how deep this board really can get. And being quite an oddball myself in how I showcased my sound and style the years passed I loved and love it a lot more in retrospect an improved board would expand the coming years. Knowing what Air / tones can do Analog sounds , ethereal pads , prog sounds , piano , EP , clavs , I can do electronic sounds I have a stage I've even found Acces Virus like. Looking back at old sounds I've done and what I can do now is very inspiring, Limitation does breed creativity.

Fondly remember when the forum was hot on these keyboards 🙂
