or use a 707/727 with a sampler at a fraction of the cost?
The 707/727 only send MIDI note information when they're in song mode.
What most people use these machines for is to fill them with patterns,
and then switch patterns on the fly. Or they put them in step write or tap
write mode, and change the pattern on the fly. Neither mode sends midi notes.
i stand corrected...thanks kent
All of the machines after the 606 are missing what I want -- to be able
to switch patterns AND be able to edit patterns without stopping the sequencer.
All the Rolands after the 606 want you stop the sequencer to switch patterns
in write mode.
This kind of petty annoyance is carried on with modern machines. The ER-1
at least will let you modify a pattern and switch patterns without stopping
the sequencer, but it won't let you save a pattern without stopping the
sequencer. WTF?
jomox xbase09 i think has this ability
