700nx newbie

Post by Ganelon »

Hi everyone,

I have just acquired a 700nx - and it's an absolutely amazing instrument. I'm an absolute newbie, though, when it comes to the controls (my last electronic instrument was a Yamaha PSR 400 from 1990), and wondered whether you can answer a few newbie-questions:

Maybe I get it all wrong, but if I understand correctly, the 350 live sets are created (through effects and layering) out of 999(?) basic sounds? Is there by chance a kind of comprehensive list of these sounds for download?

And, speaking of lists, maybe also a list of the rhythm patterns?

Is there any way to influence the effects they have applied to the sounds within the live-sets? If I, for example turn off the reverb for a sound, there is still some reverb in the sound itself.

I also miss string sounds that are nice, and do neither have a reverb nor a slow attack (I mean, that the full volume should be instantly there when you press the key). Is there a way to either influence this behaviour or maybe to download new sounds to the 700nx?

ok - that's my questions so far..
