Once you know the 307 well enough to make your own patterns, you will probably want to use customized synth patches too.
Cool. But there's something you should know before you start doing these two things together. The idea is obvious after you get used to it...but I'll post it here as a quick tip, in the hopes that you won't lose that nice pattern you just spent hours tweaking to perfection:
Before you can save a pattern using any new patches you have just created, you MUST save them to the 307's patch memory first. (Then of course you should also save the new pattern.)
If you don't save your new patches, the next time you turn the 307 on, the new pattern will sound different. It will default to the patches that were there before you started tweaking them...all your hard work will be lost.
...Like I said, obvious in retrospect. But if you're new to the 307, learn this now and save yourself some late-night frustration.

hi i've just buyed one used mc 307, in a first time i losed lots of patterns, then i learnt to save the patches first and the patterns afters, so all mi work is preserved, but evrery time i shut down the machine and turn on again, i select the pattern and it contains the original patches before my settings!
ReplyDeleteif i want my own patches i must search them manually in the user patch list for every part (including the rhytm part)is there any way to save the patches "chained" to the pattern?
Strange. I've never had this happen before. The patches should be chained to the pattern automatically. What OS does your 307 have? Perhaps updating it will solve the problem.
ReplyDeleteDo any other readers have ideas?
Maybe he was trying to change a preset pattern? he could be saving the patches but the pattern keep returning to the original ones?
