If I need other sounds I get them on my Sample Rack. I don't do much 'latin'
I don't either. But the DM10 has so many sounds available through MIDI ad the pads.
My band just started playing Two Tickets to Paradise. I just groove up the beat a bit to make up for the lack of bongos. Well in a brainstorm, I guessed that I could record the bongo part to a Sequence, then tied a trigger to Start/Stop the SEQ.
I was right. Not only that, I can edit the timing even after I record my part, so I can adjust playback speed if I want. Since it's all just MIDI, the actual samples don't increase/decrease in pitch in doing so. Kinda freaking cool!
In this example (2 tickets) the bongo part is so similar throughout the song, I can get away with one or two measures on a loop. So in my quick test, I just made a new kit with the bongos' voices on my tom rims (I'll do it using MIDI Keyboard on the ACCOMP track once I get a MIDI cable). So for it to work live, I'd need to store that kit and also store it as the default kit for that SEQ. Even that is an excellent and easy solution to fill out empty spaces of a small band!
On the same token, but perhaps even better*, we can connect a MIDI controller to access the keys, bass, etc., sounds and their note ranges and record directly to SEQ, and then use the same Start/Stop trigger. We'd just need to set the correct SEQ before we start playing.
* The "better" part being that we don't have to actually have the voices assigned to the kit, since it's being recorded as ACCOMP from a MIDI controller, so it just records notes, velocity, and which voice it's being played on. When playing back DRUM SEQ, the sounds MUST sill be assigned where they were played or whatever they've been changed to will play instead.
I've discovered that we can change the Drumkit after selecting a SEQ, and then STORE the SEQ again to change the default kit for the SEQ.
An example being SEQ 1. I Stored the default Jalapeno SEQ to the last User SEQ to save it, the overwrote SEQ with a new SEQ that is entirely blank for both ACCOMP and DRUM tracks, then set the default kit to my main LIVE kit. So now when I power on my DM10, my Kit is loaded and ready to play!
In the above example, where I mention that we must have the DRUM voices used to make the SEQ assigned where they were, I wonder if we used the extra MIDI notes to record with, but didn't have the MIDI triggers connected during playback, if that would still trigger the correct sounds in the SEQ. Not sure I'll even come to need that, since I could just use my Keystation 88 Pro to record whatever I want as an ACCOMP - as long as I don't need both ACCOMP and DRUM parts recorded.
Anyway... I find it amazing how powerful the original DM10 module is as a live solution.
