Re: [313] Drummachine+turntables
It's fun, and with a MIDI, you can play a whole friggin' drum machine symphony if you so desire!! As far as synching the machines and tables together, there are plenty of devices out there that takes a BPM read off your mixer and converts it to MIDI to your machines. Its not fool proof though. The company that makes the best (that I know of) is Redsomethingorother, the same company that makes the mixer with three faders. darw_n "repetition : repeat : shift..." http://www.sphereproductions.com http://www.mannequinodd.com - Original Message - From: Janne Puurunen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: 313 <313@hyperreal.org> Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2001 6:49 AM Subject: [313] Drummachine+turntables > hello, > > has anyone experience on drummachine+2decks?

Re: [313] Drummachine+turntables
I've been working my Roland R8mk II into my DJ set. It's getting easier to do, but there's a lot of fine tuning involved with the tempo and pitch control. I've got to do it by ear, no BPM counters or MIDI out on my mixer or anything like that. Matter of fact, I'd probably prefer not to have it. Extra stuff takes the fun out of it.

Then you could integrate virtually anything MIDI into a set. Those mixers with MIDI clock out are basically worthless -- the Roland ones make exceedingly spastic guesses at the tempo if you're playing anything besides 4 to the floor techno or house. And the tempo tends to float and flutter if, for instance, a track breaks down to something syncopated without a steady pulse on beat. I have a feeling you'd be really embarrassed if the BPM counter went fluttery on you -- your drum machine (or whatever) would lose it's mind out in front of god and everybody.
