83 Loopfactory sampling
Here’s a nifty little variation on Tip 81 above. First, hook up the outputs of the AN200 and the SU200 to an
external mixer — to pump the sounds out to the crowd. Then, use the Aux Send on the mixer to feed the
AN200 sound to the sampling input on the SU200 — and sample the Patterns of the AN200.
Things can get a little wild and wooly here. Naturally, this system lets you sync the SU200 to the AN200.
However, the sampling function really makes this setup special. Sample some different AN200 Patterns to
the SU200 and have the AN200 play one Pattern while you fly in samples of other Patterns — in perfect
sync, of course. And use the real-time control features on BOTH machines to mess up your beats on the fly
and create some chaos.
Be smart and do your sampling before you take the stage, so you have everything all set up. Or live danger-
ously, and sample your AN200 beats while you perform.
• Syncing Songs
Naturally, you can also play Songs on both machines in perfect sync
with each other. For best results, you should make sure that:
* The Songs on both the AN200 and the DX200 are of the same length.
* The Patterns on both machines work well with each other.
* Both Songs have the same Beat settings throughout.
* Both Songs don’t deviate too much from each other in the Swing set-
tings, either — unless you’re aiming for some special, weird effects.
• Bulk Send your music
To help out in the Power Hint above, try using the Bulk Send function
(page 108) to transfer Songs between the AN200 and DX200. For
example, program a Song on the AN200, then transfer just the Song
data to the DX200. Keep in mind, this will keep your Songs in sync —
however, the Patterns on the respective machines could be wildly differ-
ent. If you want to keep everything consistent on both devices, Bulk
Send ALL the data from one machine to the other.
