Hi all,

I want to try my hands on creating a whole track on the G2. I saw this great video of electro artist Anthony Rother demonstrating how he does. It seems he puts together a performance, then mutes/un-mutes the 4 different parts. I am quite new when it comes to using the G2 so I would appreciate any advice on how to do this.

1. How do I start and stop a performance with a puch of a button

2. How do I mute/un-mute the different parts while running the performance?

I might ad that I have tried the manual and it didn't go that well =)

Cheers/Chris (G2 noob)

Heres the video btw, it starts after 13:10

He gets a bit vague eh when its explanation time Laughing

ok .. on to your questions ...

1) How do I start and stop a performance with a puch of a button

From what I see my guess is .. the patches are all pretty simple so you can have all four slots active at the same time. So you would not have to actually start or stop performances.

Let me try to explain ...

For the NM a performance is a set of patches, up to four, each patch goes into a slot. You can start or stop a patch making sound easily by having a volume control, or when you would want to start or stop a sequence by assigning a button for that.

From what I see there is just one performance with four slots/patches being active - which makes it so that you can control all four, but not at the same time.

With the buttons on the G2 (assuming you are not using the engine, you can select with ABCD buttons which of the four will be influenced by the buttons and knobs on the synth - for the engine you can do the same thing from the editor, but it is a bit less intuitive.

To use a start/stop button you would need to patch something .. could be as simple as a switch between the clock generator and the sequencer. Then assign the control for that switch to a front panel button, and then use that button to turn it on/off.

For sound effects you would not need a button, but you could simply use a volume control somewhere in the patch, it might be on the very end, but is does not matter really .. and assign that to a knob on the synth, you can then use that knob to fade things in or out.

2) How do I mute/un-mute the different parts while running the performance?

Basically the same thing I think?

Anyway .. I hope Idid understand you questions right ... as the answers / hints are from that ... so .. erm .. just let me know what I misunderstood please Smile
