just discovered this "trick"

use the accent on the drum part to "kill" the drums much like a DJ will use Kill switches on a mixer.

what you do is have an EMPTY pattern on the ACCENT part for the drums
grab the VOL knob and turn from 0 all the way to 127, it will mute the drums almost all the way down - for a DJ like effect... then bring the knob back down quick by next measure.

YOU TUBE clip coming soon.

Only works if you don't use the accent part. I always use the accent part to add a bit of dynamics.

true. For me, however, i've always found the accent part to be TOO dramatic and I don't like how it effects ALL parts at once, not really accurate to me (comming from a drummers perspective that I have)

to each their own, but I like the DJ like effect it does

hope some can use it as well.

X-trade,
you know what I was thinking, since u mentioned you use accents a lot.
Here's what you could do;

you could copy the pattern that has all the accents (Pattern A) to a new pattern (Pattern B) and then on the last bar of the Patten B you take out the accents so you can do this drop effect. then you can return to back to Pattern A... I think this would be great for you since you like to have a lot of dynamics, here's another one, it'd be hard to mute up to 9 buttons for one bar and the un-mute again during a 4count.

hope that helps

I wanna know where he got the silver EMX!

[Aciphecs]

My ESX is silver! Just take off the faceplate and use oven cleaner to eat away the red\blue.

Just to add to this, you do also know what happens if you hold shift, mute and then press any drum (or synth) part button?

All the silkscreen texts stays. The cleaner only effects the aluminum.
