Query on changing Tones/Patches

Post by tjf_inc »

Hi,

I noticed something in my RD700GX.

Say im using GXStrings to play the intro, then i intend to use an Electric Piano sound. I then press the E.Piano Button and the sound skips (dont know if this is the right term to use. dont know how to describe it. perhaps the sound stops then plays agian) thus giving a discontinous sound. Is this normal?
If so, does anyone know if its possible to avoid this.

As this is the case, the only workaround i can do to avoid this is to use 2 layers

Upper 1 = E.piano
Upper 2 = Strings

I had the slider for upper 1 all the way down - for the intro

after using the strings, i put the upper2 sliders all the way down while raising the slider for upper 1.

MY concern is that it takes more time than just switching from Strings patch to E.piano.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

the jumping sound is because it is purely a stage piano and not a synthesiser, therefore, you do get that. A way round it is to use two zones like you are doing but use the zone enable and disable buttons at the top, i think that should produce a clean sound when removing the gxstrings.

hope that helps
