Subject: Controlling a Drumstation in a live set
Original Message Date: 13-Apr-98 @ 04:37 AM - Controlling a Drumstation in a live set
I want to use my Novation Drumstation in a live set, but I don't know what to use to control it. I'm looking for something that's like a mc303 or raveolution 309, but without the samples, just the control. So far an Alesis MMT-8 looks the best, but it's still not exactly what I want. I'd use a mc303, but I heard its midi control is horrible. Please post your suggestions. Thanks. Chris

I don't own a 707 but several reliable resources(check the archives on analogue heaven
at www.hyperreal.org) have mentioned more than once that the 707 only transmits
midi note data in song mode.
If it wasn't for this fact the 707 is really the better machine. It's sounds are atleast halfway
useable(I think the 505 are totally unusable for the most part). also the 707 has indie outs
(though most people won't be using it for it's internal sounds). the 707 also has a bigger
grid than the 505.
alot of people apparently use the indie outs on the 707 to hook up to a midi trigger box
but to me that is overkill. the midi trigger box would cost way more than the 707 did. if you're
spending that much money you might as well get a r8 or something that has 4 lines of
roland grid boxes.
