Hi and welcome to the forums! Those are some great videos and beats! I will probably be using some of those on the Casio Music Gear Facebook and Twitter pages - off to check the rest of your channel out!  :)

 

Hi,

 

Thanks. I'm thinking of getting an XW over the summer so will post some more if I do.

I may just become the XW-Addict MKII.

Peace!

Casio could make a really good workstation combining elements from the WK and XW keyboards. This track had me begging for a normal sequencer so that I could build this groove in stereo. (Sample time and quality has to be traded for loop duration).

 

It is nearly possible by using the peformance zones alongside the step and phrase sequencers but this track uses two "synth" sounds. (When setting up zones only zone 1 can be a "synth" sound.)

 

Another idea instead of creating a workstation could be to increase the sample quality and duration and create looper tracks (with separate faders and stop/start buttons) like the Roland RC300/505.

This is very much a "have your cake and eat it solution" but it would be amazing - just imagine. It would be the vidal sassoon of live looping all in one box.

 

 

Peace!

Smooth Grroove Sampling.

This loop had me begging for more sample time.

This was recorded in stereo 22K which meant I could only have 2 bars at 84bpm.

This wasn't a problem until the last layer where the phrase needed to be 4 bars long to give the groove a nicer sense of shape.

Still fun.

Peace!

Cross that particular limit often, A difficult work around I tried out "try"it is using the phrase at the same Bpm which in turn changes in timing problems. 

Its nice to get an inspiration running but sad if you need have to set limits on it. My case that helps to limit sounds to get a groove less muddy.

 

As usual you top it man you're grooves and useful practice tips although I'm not that much into jazz it certainly helps much getting a nicer playing style.
