Waking up
OK, I recorded something I was working on. it was done mostly on P-606 (recorded on Sonar though). Let's called another west coast beat since I'm also rooted on the Pacific. The name of the track is Waking up. Give me some imput. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=363256 Peace.

Nice. I love electric pianos. I just feel the clav needs a tighter timing in some sections, but it sounds alright. The synth lines fill things nicely. The drum beat is quite static but there's enough variation overall.
Good job.

Thanks Fac. I wasn't sure whether or not to use quantize in the clav and the piano. Sometimes I feel it's better to live with some off-tempo. It introduces some feeling. The downside is that sometimes it doesn't sound right. A lot to learn on that. thanks

I know exactly what you mean. I do a lot of improvisations as well and sometimes leave things unquantized even if it doesn't sound tight enough. Fortunately, Sonar's quantize function has a Strength parameter which lets you tighten up the timing without making it robotic. Try quantizing the clav with 50% strength or so and see if you like it. Another thing you can do is open the piano roll and edit those individual notes where timing isn't good. I do this all the time. Use your ears to judge.

You seem to be the man, when it comes to the p606 and sp606. I have a question for you my friend; I'm trying to use the pad mapping feature. I can't get the the p606 to record the sounds that I press in real time. the p606 does record the button presses but not when I do them. They all come out at the begining of the pattern ,instead of timed thru out the full pattern. Man I hope you understand what I'm saying , if so I know you can help. Thanks

Hi Upright
I don't use the pad mapping tool much but it's wierd that your performances on the sp606 are not being recorded in realtime. I just recorded something and it worked pretty well. I wonder if that may be related with your latency. what drivers are you using? what is your curruent estimated latency? You can check this in the tools/options menu.
Another option might be the snap resolution in P606. Maybe it's applying some sort of quantize to your performance.
You may also want to check the sample parameters in the sp-606. I'm not sure about this but your problem could be related with the Trig Mode or Play Type parameters. My settings are SHOT for Trig Mode and SINGLE for play type. try with this parameters.
Sorry, I don't have an answer to your question but I hope this tips can help. Let me know if you can fix it.

[sm=rolleyes.gif]What's up man! One more question for you. How can I make the p 606 play the songs that I have on my sp606? My reason for wanting to do this is to use the four tracks on the sp606 along with the 16 parts and seq on the p606. It would give me alot more room to work with. If you have any sugguestions let me know.
-Thanks

Hi Upright
I don't think you can do that. SP-606 is a controller for P606 but the software is not a controller for the hardware. I guess that if you want to have many things running at the same time the best thing to do is using the sequencer of the sp606 and perform on p606. It's like using two intruments at the same time but you have to controll them separetely.

Hey thanks for the e-mail, I think your right it is not possible to use the 606's in this manner. But I'm work on things by using the p606 mainly then transfering everything to the sp. Maybe I'll have better success this way. By the way me and my brother were listening to your tracks, keep it up! Let me know when there's something new on your soundclicks site. Again, thanks for the reply.
