Is there any >tutorials on here about these things? that is something you just learn after playing for a while. if you use a lot of the soft synths (3osc, wasp, etc.) then a tutorial on subtractive synthesis wold do you some good. try http://tyala.freeyellow.com/2ansynth.htm for that or http://tilt.largo.fl.us/faq/synthfull.html for a full introduction to synthesisers covering subtractive, additive, fm, wavetable, etc. >I was wondering if any of you have managed to hook it up and get the actual >Yamaha QY70 sounds into my PC and played through FruityLoops? Let me know >if you have accomplished this. the easiest way to do this would be to have the seq controlled by midi, but.... first, you would have to sample the sounds in soundforge or cooledit. i'm not sure if this thing is a synth type deal or more of a drum machine, but if it's a synth sound you will have to insert loop points so the sample can play on for as long as you want. (i would actually like some assistance on this, since i can't seem to do it without getting a click at the loop point.) then load the samples into sampler objects in fruity, if it's drum type sounds, then it's easier to have them controlled by a layer. _________________________________________________________________ Join the world?s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
