moontom Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I just read the specs on the Korg Kross 2 keyboard, which has a sampling feature in which four phrases can be active at once. I think this workflow is great, and should be at least partially doable on the MZ. basically I want to use 4 pads this way and loop the results: 1. sample a four-bar rhythm from external drum machine 2. bassline from MZ 3. keys from MZ 4. lead synth from MZ or external is it possible? how is it done? thanks in advance....

Brad Saucier Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 The pads can be a mix of and samples and MIDI phrases. It is totally doable as long as you can fit your audio samples into the 9 second long allowed time. Each pad phrase can be assigned to various upper and lower parts using the part select screen. That will give you the various tones you need for each phrase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moontom Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 Thanks for that Brad....so can I "sample" an internal rhythm (4 bars say) and then assign it to a pad, then create the other phrases using internal or external sounds? I found the manual and more-in-depth manual very confusing on this....really wish they'd do a step by step tutorial of some sort, text or video. thanks TM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Why not play an internal rhythm as a rhythm? Phrases with external sounds? I am not sure I follow. Do you mean via MIDI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonh Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I used to do that in Yamaha MOXF you basically want to do pattern A then B ect in the pads using phrases or arps and play them or record them . I did not try that yet on MZ I assume I can do it or can't I 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moontom Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 Brad....I want to bring in some drum machine stuff I've done on the volca -- not via MIDI, but sampling it as the basis for a loop. I can sample that no problem other than my own spazzing w/ loop points. but if I want to add say another track with internal drum sounds I can't seem to do it. I have auto accomp OFF. I'm just looking for instruction on how to do a four-bar loop with some internal and some sampled material.... thanks TM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvano Silva Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 A question why Bank A B C for pads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
