DanO: You're right on. The live drums are fantastic, but I use them more in my sequences as a second drum track. Unlike most of you guys, my gigs are 2/3 sequences and 1/3 live patterns- mostly "hip Society" (standards, jazz and big band, with latins and light rock thrown in). I'm reconfiguring my old sequences from my Korg i-2 to the SD1, on a MAC computer in MOTU Digital Performer. I save them as SMF and copy them to the SD1. I thought I wrote good drum tracks, until I heard the SD!. Now I'm rewriting them all.
I record the various drum patterns, save them as SMF and copy them to my MAC. I then add an additional "live drum" track, to either add to the existing drum track, or replace part or all of it. For example, the Jazz 1 cymbals replace the ride cymbal (Eb2) of the drum kit. Or , as in your example, the bongoes from Flemenca over a latin or 8-beat. Or, replace an existing drum fill in the arrangement. The results sound twice as good as they did on the i-2. That coming not only from me, but the other musicians and the audiences, Once I redo all my existing song list, I'll be ready to work with more .WAV files and new patterns. Until then, there's only 18 hours in a day (or that what it feels like, anyway).

Hi Dano At this time, I really haven't got into the SD-1 deep enough to know what you’re talking about. Yes, I got my SD1 last September and thanks to the help I've got from this site I can now save to block registration, single registration, power on setup-FS13 setup and basic vocalizer use. The learning curve was a little long. This 'process', I'm sure could have been less painful-If someone like yourself produced a video taking a new SD-1 owner through the basic setup, giving examples of a few options-then getting into some of the more challenging things you can do with this board. The owner's manual could also be improved. I find the small font, lack of examples for basic setups, and the lack of an index a real hindrance. It really seems like half of the stuff I've learned was from just playing around with it. Yes, most of it is probably in the owner's manual-but you got to admit-its pretty dry reading. All that said-I really am enjoying playing the SD-1.
