Sample Listing Notation

-----------------------

The 909 affords nearly an infinite number of instrument settings. In

order to make the "infinite" possible, I used a standard system for

recording each instrument's possible settings. Each instrument setting

knob on the 909 has 10 decants. I chose to use the 0, 3, 7 and 10

settings on each knob to create most instrument variations. The sample

listings use the letter "a" to represent 10 (think of 'a' as meaning

'a'll the way). The high hat and cymbal samples use settings of 0, 2, 4,

6, 8, and 10 for the variations.

So, for example, when I recorded the bass drum I used the four chosen

decants on three knob settings to create 24 bass drum variations.

For the bass drum and snare drum I eliminated a few settings to reduce

"sonic redundancy". In the case of the bass drum I only used the

0 and 10 ('a') settings on the attack. For the snare drum I did not

vary the tone control while the 'snappy' setting was at 0.
