well it's quite simple actually..
you can even do it in fast tracker... take a snare, and then use the trigger
command. note delay/trigger.. I think it's e1xx, anyway..
it will divide the note between the lines.. the smaller the number the more
times the note gets hit on that line, ranges from 4-1 usually.. depending on
speed, if you go real fast the versatility is decreased..
anyhow I've acheived this effect in quite a few tracks..
if you want to do a thing like in bouncing ball, not the bouncing ball, but
the part where the snares play so close together that they form a tone, you
do this...
play the snare at whatever pitch you want, normal pitch, and then put the
e101 command on it (fastest retrigger), and that should be somewhat of a
tone depending on the tempo.. then play it at a 5th higher in pitch than
that, also with e101.. the tone will be higher in pitch.. it works really
well :)
anyway.. that's how i do it, I reckon the same general idea can be applied
to a sequencer and an external sampler :)
note: I do not try to make music that sounds like RDJ's stuff, nor do I copy
his stuff so please omit such flames from my mailbox.
