A FEW OTHER TIPS
INCLUDED FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION:
Live and Studio Applications.
Live
application:
Try
using the
different
SHAPES
in
each
ZONE
to
manipulate
and
balance the
elements in your layers.
Studio application: Connect your MIDI out from your Master Controller to the MIDI in on your
Sequencer and the MIDI out of your sequencer to your Modules. Set your sequencer input fil-
ter to Direct Echo or the appropriate setting to pass all information through (non channeli-
ze). If you come up with an interesting layered patch set your sequencer to multi-record and
hit edit enter twice while your sequencer is recording to record your patch changes to the
sequencer and then continue and play while recording a performance for all your layers. For
another section of your track you can do the same with another patch and record and auto-
mate your patch changes along with your performance. Using the layers on the SL-760 you
may come up with patches and parts you might not have conceived programming the tradi-
tional one track at a time way.
Live
application:
Use
the
inverted
or
(-)
SHAPES
to
experiment
with
velocity
crossfades.
Live
application:
Set
a
ZONE
to
only
one note.
When
editing
SPLIT parameter
in
setting
up
ZONE
hit
the
same
note twice
at
either
the lowest note or
highest
note on the
keyboard
to
set
a
range
of (1) one note for
that
ZONE.
Assign
that
Zone
to
a
MIDI
channel
that
goes
to
your sampler
to
trigger
a
Loop
or
trigger
a
Sound
FX.
Use
the
TRANSPOSE
feature
to
bring
the
sample up or down to a useful range for triggering. If the (+) or (-) 24 steps of transposition
is not enough, assign the Sample trigger note to an appropriate one in the sampler and save
it that way.
Live or Studio
application:
Using
the
BANK SELECT
feature
get
to
those often
useful
and
alternate patches not stored in the first 127 patch positions on your synth.
Live
application:
Use
the
(3)
ZONES
to
set up three
different
patches,
use
the
ZONE
SWIT-
CHES
to
toggle and play one
ZONE
at
a
time
for
particular
songs
or
sections of songs.
Live or Studio
application:
Use
the
TRANSPOSE
feature
to
create
intervals
from layered
ZONES
in octaves or harmonies.
Studio application: Again, use multi-record on your sequencer but this time with a split patch
set up on your SL-760 record two or more parts at once. Bass and comp or chords and melody.
The point is, get creative and innovative using all your new possibilities.
Studio, Scoring to Picture application: Perhaps your sequencer might be locked to video via
SMPTE.
Set up
a
split
patch
with
all
Orchestral elements on the SL-760, perform and play
in
a
more live sense while watching picture. Jump to another sound as the picture inspires you
while recording all your performances simultaneously to the sequencer in multi-record. After
recording you'll have each of your instruments parts recorded on it's own track, now you can
go back and edit or elaborate on your improvisation to picture. If your sequencer doesn't
record
separate
MIDI
channels
to
separate tracks simultaneously you
can
always
filter
by chan-
nel parts after recording to separate your to individual tracks for editing.

Useful Charts and Graphics
Included on the following two pages are 2 identical copies of a template for you to write down
the settings for the patches you come up with. These are included so you can build a library
of your favorite patches and settings. Carefully tear or cut out one of the copies and feel free
to run it through a copy machine to make more blanks for yourself. If you require more copies
