RE: er1 query
Damn, thats brilliant, for quick grooves. In logic, I just use the velocity tool, but it remebers what the last velo that you clicked was, so if you're doing kicks at 120 and snares at 80, you do a kick 120 then create a snare, and its at 120 too, gotta drag that velo down to 80, then you make a kick and its 80... get the point. Not a pain, cause you can draw all your kicks and then all your snares, but shift clicking like that with default values fucking kicks ass, seems to me. Its small things like that, that make progs feel good.
Logic is tighter than my er.
What you need to do is check the accent of the patch. DID YOU READ YOUR MANUAL? Thats a damn easy manual to get threw... what you do is hold down the accent button and then turn the level knob to where ever you want it. Then if you are programing on the box, you can set up accent hits an 1,5,9,13 or whatever, and your kicks (or whatever, kids) will be that much louder. Only thing is, everything is that much quieter too.
The other thing is that the patterns on the er are pretty clean. If you're programming cloudy stuff, the drums are gonna sound muffled, cause they are written muffled.
