RE: Octopus envy
LOL!!! Well, I sincerely hope I wouldna feel that way about anyone from here, chroma... DT folk, IMO, aren't generally the "look at all my shit.. I can't fugging play to save me ass" types. Most of 'em I've met tend to be more the "Oz" type... Very willing to be the one behind the machines...
I'm also with you that sometimes there's just "too much control" to have to fret over iin a live set... Well, actually I guess I like having the option of using it, I just dunna want to "have to." =)
I've also gotten to the point of keeping individual beats (BD, SD, Hats, etc.) on their own separate channels. I never used much more than three or four channels for synth bits anyhow, so I figured since both my RS and my SQ16 allow me to do so, why not split it up. I actually like that much control over the percussion, makes riding mixes a lot more flexible.
