Dumb Question -

Drum and Bass - do you prefer program at the full tempo of 160 + or will you prefer halve that to get the slower bpm effects from the E2/ES2?

I'm merely a low level acolyte when it comes to DnB.

I use 87 bpm with groove templates to fill in the 16ths. I find slower tempo makes it easier to use step jump for beat chopping.

Thanks for replying. Always great to hear our others work.

Yeah, the groove templates are working their way into my essential functions - making my ESX1 lose its attraction, for me.
