Two parts to this answer. The first is how to best enter the notes because, as you alluded to, they're nearly impossible to enter manually (talking purely MIDI here). I first bought the SPD-20 (in the top middle) to do this but it probably had the same issues that the Korg Nanopad does. So it turned into my "effects" (MORE COWBELL!) and I bought a starter V-Drum set. It wasn't long before I had maxed it out to what you see above (damn was it fun!). Next, I was using the DR 808 extra that came with one of the early versions of Cakewalk for the drum sequencing because you could map a sample to a MIDI note which meant I could change out samples all over the place (I had a bunch). The other feature I liked about the DR 808 was that you could have multiple samples at different (Ai! Lost the correct word! Dammit...) volumes/levels/strengths (hope you know what I mean!). Anyway, I don't know what the best replacement is for the DR 808 now, but that's the basic idea! It's kind of fun to make a complex fill and then look at what it creates in MIDI - you can definitely see that doing it manually is not going to happen!

(Wait... This has to do with "that" folder, doesn't it????)

Please elaborate! "Never" is serious!

I played black noise at full volume yesterday and the mime next door went crazy.

What's all this Alembic talk??? Ain't nobody got one of those! [Insert typical meme here.] ?

I tried your links, but couldn't make a sound. At least with my link, you could play it! ?

How about a virtual Acid Machine 2?

Sorry, all we have is EZvuvuzela for you. ?

Wow Michael, yours looks a lot like the last one I had (except for the pick-guard color). [Oops! And I didn't have zebra pickups! ?]

If it makes you feel any better, I just thought I'd point out that the ad doesn't say WHICH 7 days. ?

I don't worry about tuning. I play Rock! (I'm kidding! I'm kidding! Don't throw that... *Ow!!!*)

Yep... We've lost a few over the last years. Billy Arnell (ba_midi), Jan Eiken (Old55) and, now, Bo... It happens! But, I personally didn't think any of the above were anywhere near old age...

Isn't he one of the partners of the law firm Turner Brown and Ben Dover?

Damn Dave! Take care of yourself, there are still some bits you need to flip. After just finding out about Bo, I have no interest in there being another RIP thread for you. The average lifespan for Americans is 78.7 years and I've always thought of you as above average, ya? ?

When Iron Man gets old, does he rust?

I had to ditch my 401k when it became a 1k...

Exactly what I would say! (If I wanted the price to drop so I could afford one! LOL! ?)

Well, you are about overdue for one. ?

The Man In The Iron Thong?

Thank you for not including the word "infection" in your post. ?

Like Windows (that they stole from Apple)? ?

I've always believed that Victoria's Secret should have bleachers for the guys to sit on.

Thanks to an inquiry by Alex, I did a quick search and found out why Bo (a.k.a., Space Cowboy) never made it to the new forum... Bo's Obituary He passed away over a year ago! March 21st, 2018... Besides the obvious, back when I was forced to do just about anything to survive, he bought one of my custom guitars with the stipulation that I could buy it back once I could afford to. Now it appears that both he and the guitar are gone forever... RIP Bo! ? (Or you can call him Maurice.?)

MS will be ending the life of Skype (the business version originally called Lync). Teams will be taking over that functionality plus adding more (including some, in my opinion, childish memes and animated gifs).
