I don't want to fiddle around with tick numbers or notation. maybe this is because i've not been using in much at school, but so far all the stuff I have done have had very simple drum programming, and when I tried to add in a snarerush, I just gave up coz it was to stressful. maybe it's just me, i'd like to know how others do it really. :) and also I reckon Octamed will only cost $70, not $300-$1000 like the others. __ __\ \ / /_\ \ \_____/ www.freq-div.home.ml.org
