Thanks Alec for your reply.
This is how I have the keyboard set up. I have recorded the APC and the Control track also Right 1 and Right 2 and I also have recorded chords into Left even if I am not going to use them in the final "masterpiece". Now I want to record on Part 7,so I press the record button for 7 and the split light goes out. It comes on again if I put the Left on record.Its no great worry. I just wondered what everyone else did.
I am still working on the sequencer and trying to understand everything that it does. I should have said Percussion--not rythmn. I was interested in the way the percussion instruments in the sound explorer could be used. I have heard a few of the members in their 20 for 1 disks using the sound effects like rain and thunder etc, but am interested to see how some of the instruments could be used in perhaps, say, Latin Rythmns to add to them. I guess its trial and error.
I am starting on the composer now so I will be able to make use of your other suggestions. The Easy Composer sounds a good place to start. Thank you. Jean.
