What's this I hear about connecting wave or audio files with midi?

Does this mean I could sing through the vocalizer into the SD1 and record background vocals that will play back with the midi?

That would be cool. I don't suppose it recognizes mp3. It'd be better to downsize them.

Anyone understand how this works?

just4fun,

Yes that is possible. Get in touch with AJ, I heard this done at Dan O's store. AJ demoed the SD1 there and showed me that perticular technic (very impressive feature) of adding your own voice to a SMF song for harmonies etc etc.

Team,

This is one of the most impressive features of the SD1 (termed under Wave-sync Technology).
You can record wave samples (14-28seconds in length each) and later on call these samples (as multi-samples) to play along with your midifile etc.
These wave files are sync'd to the MIDIfile using our exclusive 'sync' technology (which is similar to our sync-groove which we use with the live drums). Each time you recall the MIDIfile, you will automatically load up the associated voices/wave files that were recorded with the song.
This is a good feature to have say for back up voices: Imagine using the vocalizer to record the chorus to a song (maybe using 5 separate wavefiles no longer than 14 seconds each for separate parts - you could do all in one wavefile if you wish). Next, during playback, you determine when these parts will be played back during the song and save settings within song.
Now during your gigg, all you will have to do is sing your lead parts ... and let the SD1 gracefully come in not only with your MIDIfile background music, but your background vocalists too! Let me know if you need more info on how to achieve this.
Neat, right?

AJ

Aj,
{lease clear something up for me . Will the XD9 be able to wav. sync ?

What about the difference between the Vega + XD9 ? dano

That is tres cool. :-)

I'll see how much I understand when I delve through the manual. I'm actually a little nervous of the vocalizer section, it looks much more complicated then my IH I've been using. But I'm certain the sound quality is much better too.

I can send you a few MP3's that used the harmonizer ..............dano ketronguy@yahoo.com

Dan,

The wave sync technology will not be on the XD-series since the capability to do this exists within the SAMPLER (SD1).

The only differences b/w XD9 and Vega are:

XD : VEGA
==========================================
Std styles : Std styles + oriental
Std sounds : Std sounds + oriental
Mode & Pitch wheel: Joystick
N/A : Arabic 1/4 tone scales

Slight difference in layout for arabic functions on VEGA

Both will be able to load new FLASH sounds (via internal FLASH cards for customization in the feature).

Thanks,

AJ

There are no dumb questions so . . .
I would never use the Arabic features, but I would like the Joystick. Would any of the features on the XD9 be compromised by having the Vega? In other words are there any disadvantages to owning the Vega rather than the XD9?
Thanks,
DonM

DonM.

There are no disadvantages of owning VEGA over the XD9 if arrabic features are to be ignored ... self a little more in cost

Thanks,

AJ
