>>I looked on page 181 of the manual and i have underlined a lot of stuff there already but i will re-look at it with your info in hand.

Creating the messages is not that difficult.

>>I would like a copy of David Greens Performance Template but i am not so clued up on how to get it from my computer to the XP60.

(1) Save the .mid file attachment to your desktop.
(2) Drag or save it to an XP60-formatted floppy.
(3) Play the .mid file as a normal song in the XP60.
(4) The XP60 will deposit the Template in your Performance Temp area.
(5) Save the Performance Template to a User Performance memory slot.

>>I do not know to much about computers and i don't know how to unzip a file either.

I can just send you the raw .mid file. It's tiny. No need to zip it (the zip package from David contains the same file in different formats).

>>I do have that on my computer however. I can do a search for David Green performance template on the Yahoo site

I don't think it's there. It used to be on his Roland site (and still may be), but he changed things around; I couldn't find it there.

>>as i just joined it a week or two ago but i am not sure if i will know what to do with it when i find it.

See above. Just load it and play it.

>>I don't have midi on my computer and i don't have a CD burner or anything else except a floppy and CD rom.

All you need is the floppy.

>>I know a bit about microscope mode and should be ok with that.
Yea thanks I know about spacing the PGs and CCs etc out to different clock times and that the PGs have to change from the old ones to the new patches on the XP.

Don't forget the CC0 and CC32 messages -- to select the correct banks.

>>The way that you described using your zeroed out performance template is exactely what i want to do.

It's very handy and is the only one I use. I alter it at the beginning of every song using CC messages etc. and sysex from the Transmit Edit function.

>>Yea cc7 is the way i will do volume changes.

David has a nice explanation somehwere about combining CC7, CC11, and Part Volume to control volume.

>>Thank you again Doug...I think that my own personal hard drive "My Brain" needs a lot of tweeking...or just maybe it has a virus because it seems to be working slower and slower.

That's not the case at all; it just seems you're doing this for the first time. We all have to start somewhere.

I assume you are Kenex at the Yahoo group, but one can't send attachments through email there. If you want the .mid file, email me your address at dnarkosis@yahoo.com and I'll send it along.
