Hey fellow keyboardist since I've started out to re-invent my musical skills on synthesizers I wondered where to start, It isn't easy to be a beginner in understanding sound wave's and soundscape building. So I always venture out to seek video's tutorials to help me out and all though those are fine starting points there always that little more basic you need to really understand stuff that go's on under the hood and how you can do it on you're own or rebuild the same sound you hear. The following weeks I'll review these books and what I learned so far if it really helped to become more quaint with the synth as a beginner. So here are my book tips of the month that might help some of you out a little. First book is 200 drum patterns for drum machine and because the XW synth has an formidable drum machine with an input style the like of the classic drum machine I though it to be a good starting point to expand and diversify on style and rhymes instead of re-inventing and work around to get an particular pattern. http://www.scribd.com/doc/33852257/200-Drum-Patterns-for-Drum-Machines http://www.amazon.co.uk/Two-Hundred-Drum-Machine-Patterns/dp/0881886327 Second book I crossed on several synth forum got my interest also because of the title, "Keyboard present steal that sound" now I know that most of us want to copy a sound we hear from some song we heard or know and that not always easy if you don't recognize the elements the sound is build up according to the reviews i've read its a series of articles from a magazine and soft synth are used to build the sounds the principle the same and can be used to all kind of synth thus the XW. This one I'm certainly going to review in the comming weeks here on the forum if some of you have these book in any kind of form please fill in you're experience. http://www.amazon.com/Keyboard-Presents-Steal-This-Sound/dp/1423492811

Does the Privia PX_5S have built-in drum patterns? If so, how do we call them up?
