Chapter 18 Master Class 1 — Onstage
84 Full DJ system — turntable and all!
Bring the Loopfactory into your DJ setup — for the best of the analog and digital worlds. This builds on the
setup in Tip 83 above by adding a turntable and/or CD player. (Make sure your turntable has line-level out-
puts, or that your mixer can boost phono signals.)
Use the Tap feature on the AN200 to sync both the AN200 and SU200 to your turntable beats. This is tricky
to pull off — but if you get it in the groove, it can be pretty powerful stuff.
Do some sampling here, too. Sample your vinyl or CD beats to the SU200, and mix them in as you play.
And sample the AN200, like you did in Tip 83. Have the AN200 play its Patterns while you fly in your new
samples — without missing a beat.
85 Loopfactory megasetup — with MIDI Thru
Here’s where you can take the Loopfactory to the max. Start the system with the RM1x Sequence Remixer,
a mixer (you’ll need at least eight input channels), and your AN200. Then bring the DX200 and SU200 into
the fracas, and get things really smoking.
Use your sequencer data on the RM1x to play the Voices of the AN200 and DX200 (NOT the Patterns). This
way you can take advantage of the special characteristics of each of these synthesizers — playing the analog
sound of the AN200 in 5-note polyphony, and the FM synthesis sounds of the DX200 in 16-note polyphony.
Plus, with the SU200 locked in sync, you can play the samples on that unit using the Loop Track feature —
and keep everything right in the pocket.
