[. . . ] Then try adding the Kick, Bass, Hi-Hat and Snare Parts one-by-one until you've got the whole Pattern happening. Try this "one-by-one" arranging technique on other Patterns as well. p 07 49 65 Solo a single Part -- instantly! Here's another useful mixing and arranging trick!Use this after a climactic part, and bring the whole sound down to one certain instrument -- like the Bass, or one of the Phrases. Here's how: When all the Parts are on, press one of the Part keys and the Toggle key simultaneously. This turns all Parts but the selected one off -- instantly soloing your selected Part! 66 Hit the downbeat! We said it before, we'll say it again-- make sure you keep it in the pocket!That means making all your hits right on the beat, so that the whole rhythm grooves. When you turn on a Part, you'll probably have to hit the key a fraction of a second before the actual downbeat to make everything flow smoothly and stay in the pocket. Turning off a Part is easier and more forgiving -- basically do it whenever you want, or wherever feels good! One Two Three Four For example, just before this timing! 67 Custom Combination keys For times when the Combination keys don't have quite the right combination, you can add the needed Parts to them. For example, if you want to turn on only the Bass, Kick and Hi-Hat, first press BASS+KICK, then immediately follow that with the HI-HAT key. Provided you're fast enough, all three Parts should kick in simultaneously -- and smoothly! 50 q w Chapter 15 Part Controller Power Tips 68 Activator textures Here's a key to getting the same smooth, shifting textures you hear in a lot of pro mixes!Select the Activator key in the Part Selector and turn the Part Controller volume to zero. Now, with the Pattern playing, trigger one of the Activator Loops, and bring up the volume gradually. Hear how the Activator Loop slowly fades into the mix, adding more texture to the sound. Turn the Volume knob back down, and the Activator Loop fades out. Fade in the Activator Loop. Fade out the Activator Loop. 69 Dark mixes and deep grooves -- cut the Cutoff! Here's a powerful trick to instantly darken up your tracks -- if that's what you're after. Select all of the Parts with the Part Selector, then set the Cutoff and Resonance to zero. Notice how all the high end disappears from the sound, and all your left with is a pulsing bass!You can accentuate this effect even more by boosting the Isolator Low knob to the maximum and setting Mid and High to the minimum. From this starting point, try bringing up the Resonance to max. Then play with the Cutoff knob in time with the rhythm for some stunning filter sweep effects. It's a great way to fade in the other rhythm parts -- plus bring in some killer textures!To bring things back to normal, turn the Cutoff and Resonance knobs to their center positions. Do it on the "one"! 51 70 Instant reset! Once you've made a few changes to the Part Controller settings -- especially if you've tweaked more than one Part -- it's not so easy to get back to where you started!Often, you'll want to be able to backtrack and reset all the Parts to their original sound.
