So i'm about to build a Midibox. I REALLY like the remix feature. It's something that I've been asking from MANY sequencer makers but nobody has been able to provide an acceptable solution and it appears that you have. We need the ability to "DJ" a Live set and the ability to drop in certain tracks in a transition state is perfect! Anyways, since I don't have a built Midibox Seq v4, and I'm in the planning phases, would I be wanting to have a Dedicated button just for the remix feature? Is that possible? Or is F4 not being used, and why you were suggesting it above? This will be the first of MANY questions.. Thanks!

Well with the Revoluton and Orb sequencers, they are both 16 step sequencer. And the "Remix" feature, provides our unique Remix feature which gives 256 variations for every pattern and song. 16steps x 16 variations So I don't know the algorhythms itself, there are 2 knobs with 16 options. You turn those knobs to "Remix" the pattern. Which essentially shuffles the pattern. First knob probably moves the first step over the left once. so by the time you turn all the way to position 16, step 1 is in step 16. any changes to the "remix" take place, the next loop of the pattern a remix may play the same step multiple times within 1 bar main rule, is that what ever data is programmed into step 1 will always plas as the first step of a remix when both knobs are at 0 and 0, the steps are played like how it is saved. i'm not sure what the 2nd knob does. Maybe after moving everything to the right with the first knob, the 2nd knob will do different variations to the steps. for example, switch 2,4,6,8,10,12,14 with 3,5,7,9.11,13,15 things like that. and another can do every 3rd, switch those just above it so that 2 switches with 3 and 5 switches with 6 and 8 switches with 9 and 11 switches with 12 and 14 switches with 15 that type of thing.... or save steps 1234 switch with 9 10 11 12 and 5 6 7 8 switch with 13 14 15 16 (well maybe not step 1). just a variety of different ways to switch the pattern steps in real time with 2 knobs (for selecting the "remix) and 1 button for turning it on or off would provide a great real time tool for manipulating the pattern. It could be anything that the user community comes up with. So since the original concept is 16 x 16 to get 256 variations, I don't know what you want to do with the 128 steps on your machine. I guess we can utilize the ability of a knob to be 128 positions, and do the same concept throughout the pattern. So with a combination of the first knob moving steps around left to right from step 2 ---> 128 (with 1 staying the same (if you want to keep that concept) and then the second knob would have the ability to have up 128 different possibities for moving around different "groups" of steps. So with the 2 working in conjuction, it provides quite a bit of variety, while also maintaining the same "function" for the remix across the knobs, so that you might start seeing different "remixes" (or knob positions of these 2 knobs) that work good for different parts, and you just know turning it the second knob to position 2 always sounds good on a bass sound, or that type of thing, because of the consistency of the "remix" feature. I'm all about the ability to "manipulate" the sequences live. I have a P3 and love the knob masking feature that it has, to control and tame some of the randomization features, so you can add in the randomization at any point live, as you feel it. This would give a similar but different fealing. I'm open to any changes on this feature request, just wanting to get something like this started..... Thanks....

How about a "Remix" feature applied at the "track" level, where you can use a knob or two to "change up" the order of the steps. But with 128 steps available, you would have 128 x 128 steps to equals 16,384 variations, so you might need 2 knobs to do an NRPN type of change. But could be fun for live improving and jamming.

I'm just about to start building a Midi Master Clock myself, and I love your design. Where did you get the case? Any chance on more details so that others can follow your design? This will be my first Midibox project....

That is true, Wolfram Franke of Waldorf: From the Waldorf user-forum mailing list: "He did the design of the Wavetable engine in the TI together with Christoph Kemper. " Cheers, Dave

Or sync it up with this... http://web.webhost4life.com/innerclock/index.asp?action=page&name=21 There's nothign wrong with 2 808's... :)
