I was mistaken, I own a SPX90II, but the advertising comes from the SPX90, resp. from the "ARTIST, ENGINEER, AND PRODUCER APPLICATION'S GUIDEBOOK": "On the song "Open Your Heart, produced by Pat Leonard and Madonna, the drum track was played live to a programmed pattern. Pat and Madonna decided to keep the high-hat because they liked the feel that it added, but they did not want it identified as a "machine". To solve this problem, Pat used the AUTO PAN setting of the SPX90 to keep the sixteenth note RX11 high-hat pattern moving, making it harder to focus on this track." That's just promotion, but using panning, usually MIDI control instead of a noise effect unit, was really one method used to avoid the machine-gun effect (just naming it "machine" in the sense of "drum machine" is an understatement/downplaying of the issue). _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
