XBase 09 Operating Manual Page 11
Push the Bass Drum pad and -while holding it down- push the „Note #1" button once to deselect
it then once again so that it is in „record" (Note #1 light flashing). Notice that the Kick sound on
Note #1 is different. Again use the controls to alter the sound of the Kick on Note #1. Try
lenghening the decay, for instance. Once you have found a sound you like, hit the „Note #1"
button once to deselect it from recording, then hit it again so that it is playing, but it is not in
record.
You may follow this procedure for any of the other instruments as well.
... Let's get crazy!
Now let's edit the snare sound, changing it over the course of the whole bar.
„Solo" the sanre Drum by turning down the Bass and Hat volume controls.
Push the Snare Drum pad and -while holding it down- push the „Write" button (both Snare Drum
pad and Write button flash).
Now start turning the snare Drum sound controls. Keep turning until you find a sound you like.
That sound is now being written into the Pattern.
... Now for some real fun:
While you are still in this mode (Snare pad and Write lights blinking), turn the Snare tune knob
all the way counter-clockwise (Snare is at lowest possible pitch). You may choose to slow the
tempo down ( don’t forget to press the Accent-Knob !) to make this next move. Here we go...
keep your hand on the Snare Tune knob, and when the bar begins, move the knob clockwise
(turning up the pitch of the snare) so that at the end of the bar, the snare is near ist highest pitch.
You can practice this until you get a good „preformance". Once you have a good performance of
tuning up the pitch, hit the „Write" button at the end of the bar, before the bar starts over so that
you come out of the „record" mode! Your „performance" will now be stored with the Pattern! (If
you don't like your performance, hit the Write button, then push the Snare Drum pad again and -
while hoding it down- push the Write button again and try again).
You will notice when you hit the Write button at the end of that last move, its light went out. Hit
the Write button to activate the write mode again. Hit the Snare Drum pad so that ist light blinks.
Now, while holding down the Snare pad, hit Note button 9 twice and then Note button 11 twice.
These two Note buttons should be blinking. Turn the Snare Tune knob all the way up, turn
XSnapp, Dacay, Noise Tune and Detune knobs all the way down. Now the snare sounds like a
cowbell! Hit Note button 11 twice to take it „out of record", turn the Snare Tune knob down so
that Note 9 will have a different pitch than note 11. Now hit Note button 9 twice to take it out of
record. If you want, hit the Accent pad and select Notes 9 and 11 to increase the volume of those
cowbell hits.
... Let's get crazier !
Now let's look into the HiHat section:
„solo" the Hi Hat by turning down the Bass and Snare volume controls.
Hit the Closed Hi Hat pad. At this point, Notes 7, 11, 15 are lit. Make sure the Write light is lit,
but not blinking.
Now select Notes 9 and 10 by hitting those Note buttons.
Hit the shift button (lower right) and the Note button 13 (notice that below this Note button it says
„HH sample select"). Using the Up/Down buttons, scroll to where the display says „CLP". now
select Note buttons 9 and 10 and hit the „Enter" button. Those notes change to a 909 Rim sound.
