Does anyone know if there is a combi with a 6/8-beat on Korg X50? I can't find even one! Pretty much all seems to be 4/4..


Anyone knows one?

For those of you who are unsure what I mean with 6/8 beat, it's the beat on Boyz II Men - End of the Road, for example

1 2 3 4 5 6

Anyone?

If you slow B 03 Combi (Party Reggae Mahn) to 96bpm, you could count that as a slow 6/8, but you'd have to put in some steady triplets on another component of the combi to give you the feel you're hunting.
I'll keep looking for more.

It's a synth, you can program your own.

All the rhythms are programmed with the arpeggiator. You can set the loop length to 6 (or 12) or anything else for that matter (I sometimes like to make electronica in 7..

whoa! now you're talking

Yes of course this has crossed my mind too. Unfortunately I'm quite new to the whole keyboard/programming area, I am more use to working in software sequencer really.

I will definetly look into this as I have no idea how to do it.. I will study the manual about it. Unless of course, someone could give me a crash course on the subject?

Anyway, thanks a lot! it seems there are a lot more possibilities here than I thought

--other than changing the length of the arpeggio, or choosing a different arpeggio preset, , or changing its octaves and voice assignments, I'm lost as to how to 'write your own.' Could you list the page on the .pdf where that's explained.
