Holes - E-Mu PX-7 Owner's Manual

Holes

320 E-MU Systems
Each component group of each acoustic kit is also provided under its own
prefix. Only the keys used by those components (in a standard drum map)
are filled, leaving the rest blank for layering.
Example:
0075 cym:BreadnButter (C#2, D2, D#2, E2 etc.)
0053 hat:BreadnButter (F#1, G#1, A#1)
0059 kik:BreadnButter (B0, C1)
0064 snr:BreadnButter (C#1, D1, D#1, E1)
0069 tom:BreadnButter (F1, G1 A1, etc.)
0050 gen:GM noKickB0 (below C0 and above F3)
This way, you can mix and match components from different kits into your
own custom kit in a preset. You can use link presets (lnk:___) if you run out
of layers).
Example:
Starting with preset 127-3 (the basic default), select 060 kik:Studio for
1.
layer 1.
Select 0064 snr:BreadnButter for layer 2.
2.
Select 055 hat:Studio 2 for layer 3.
3.
Select 072 tom:Stadium Rock for layer 4.
4.
Go to Link 1 and assign preset 111-3 lnk:Cym 4 for the cymbals and if
5.
desired, assign 107-3 lnk:GM 1 for the extraneous percussion up the
keyboard and below B0.
You have now created a custom kit and you can adjust the pans and
volumes, filters, tunings and envelopes of each component separately.
(Or just dial up separate MIDI channels for each component and do it the
multitimbral way!)
You can also mix various acoustic and synth kit layers on top of each other
for blended hybrid kits. When in doubt, use key range limits to confine
drums to the keys you desire.
You can find each velocity layer of each component separately in their
respective prc instruments. For example, 080 prc:All Kicks 1 contains every
kick sample in the box one per key. And 163 prc: Kick 1 through 255
prc:Kick 93 offer each individual kick pitched on C4 and stretched over the
entire keyboard for your listening pleasure.
For instant gratification, plr (player) instruments have been created
especially for PX-7 owners to use transpose and audition important parts if
each major acoustic kit with and without hats and also the some of the
synth kits. These can be heard in presets 000-0 and 001-0.
