to your second question, i would ask "out" of where, but maybe what you want is a multiband(-anything)
i use a multiband compressor
so i can control the outputs and compression of bass mid and highs seperately

maybe he was talkign about the z-plane

as for setting up two sounds, from the main screen youll see what looks like a 16ch mixer, each one corresponds to a midi channel. To move to the next one press up cursor, then you can set the prog to play and which outputs etc etc

thanks phono, will have a go tonite...bound to have some more questions later

wanting some tips on the EQ morph and Zplanes filters...

ive been reading about these supposidly being able to morph between two or more filter types. On the zplane filter screen theres two shelves that the cords modulate between. But what other ways can you make use of these morphing functions to get more twisted teebee calyx type sounds?

I think the Peak/Shelf Morph is the one people mainly use. Not sure if you saw the .pdf Dillusion did several years ago, but that sets the basics, and it's where I'm at pretty much right now.

I think my question right now is if there is a way to control a filter sweep just on one of the two frames, before morphing over to the other frame, or if you basically just have to set each frame, and the "ZOMG ZPLANE" is the sounds you get from working the morph and the resonance. Not sure if that makes any sense. It all might just boil down to picking certain Freq on each morph frame, then messing with the Shelf and Peak of each.

Also, I've been reading EmusOnAcid a lot this week, probably more than I have combined since that forum went up. Been copying & pasting info for myself from any posts that I find interesting, usually just opening threads based on the subject line, some of the specific users there, and/or the number of replies to the threads. Started working backwards from the very first posts. I'm surprised there are not more video demonstrations and tutorials, but then again I tried recording some of the screens and it's really washed out most of the time.

And I thought these threads might have some helpful info:

I too have recently got a emu sampler...and wondering how to get such a great filter modulated sound... I know they use midi cc from there controller to modulate the filter...I am trying to figure how to do this as well... I assume its done on the cords screen but i cant seem to get it working... As you know i think the magic is also in the peak/shelf morph screen.. The only thing i can really get working is if you aqually give your low morph frame low settings and your high morph frame high settings.. they are both set low by default... So leave your low morph low like freq: 83hz , shelf i would raise a bit in the manual it says a low setting is a low filter and a high is a high filter... i would say -50 is good. and peak -24db..then high morph freq alot higher like - 4651hz , shelf were you see fit and turn the peak up to a positive value say +2db... Once you use low and high values like i am saying its easier to find a good spot... I also wonder how you would use say a lfo on the peak/shelf morph ....I feel like i know the emu well i just still cant figure those two things out....so help us two out! :p

Thanks ransom i have read emu on acid but never came across those! So i did some reading... I guess with the upgrade 10.7 or later you can modulate more paramaters then on the older OS... Well good thing i just updated 2 days ago! No wonder it was not working!! So now after using these settings....
On the cordes screen set - ModWl>FilFreq=100% If you want the modwheel to change the filter or something like LFO1+ If you want a Lfo then you have to put a setting in the lFO/aux page... Or for something random use white or pink noise... Either way these are the settings i just used and its giving the modulation movement we are both looking for!

On peak/shelf morph screen -
morph to 0
peak to -24db

lowmorph FREQ: 83Hz
SHELF:-64
PEAK: -24 dB

high morph FREQ:9824Hz
SHELF:+25
PEAK:-24dB

.

jeez ransom, what a gent!!

will have a go at this with a fresh head through the weekend
