monokinetic Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 Hi I'm playing around with programming some rhythms today and would like to check something: My track is set to "Drum (64/2*64)" which AFAIK has 2 trigger layers. I go to the trigger select page, set R.G. to layer B. Then I press the GP button below to select this trigger layer (i.e. it starts flashing), I thought then it is possible to edit the trigger layer. But it seems that when I press Edit to make the changes I'm still on the TA:Gate layer! Is there some other way of selecting to edit all of the steps trigger B layer that I'm missing? in On non-drum tracks I can edit the trigger using the trigger view mode, but this seems to do nothing on drum tracks, even if in theory they have 2 triggers. Any ideas? Thanks in advance David Quote
nuke Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 you can easily do that with switching between the Trigger Layer A and B then...Trg-A is normal trigger, Trg-B is yor defined (R.G) Layer then...Trg-C is to select one of your 16 drumtracks...while ParameterLayer A is Roll use with turning the encoders (or whatever you assigned when initialized)...

monokinetic Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Posted May 27, 2011 Hi nuke, Thanks for the reply. But I think I can see that my original question was not clear enough. I should also mention that I use a MBSeqV3 front panel and not the MBSeq V4 panel i.e. no trigger layer buttons.... Anyway, I have done more testing and here is the process I'm following: Track 1 set to a normal note track (i.e. with 256 notes, 4 ParL and 8 TrgL), I can use the trgsel page (page 4) in a bookmark to select the trigger layer to be edited. No problem. Track 2 set to a drum track, which as I mentioned in my first post, should have 2 trigger layers. But when I use the trgsel page to select a trigger layer I get only the 16 drum sounds (BD SD CH and so on). If I remember correctly, in MBSeqV3 I could use "Menu > Assign (Trigger on V4 panel)" and press the GP button below a trigger layer to switch to a trigger layer (I thought that's why it flashes?). But currently with Beta41, it seems it is not possible to edit the Trigger B layer in this way, as far as I can see. So is there another way to select the trigger b layer on a drum track? David Quote
nuke Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 ah i see...sh** i guess no... there is no way without additional Trg-Buttons...:sad: while selecting several triggers in note-mode is possible via the select-button, it´s not working within the drum-mode... but i suggest hijacking your "Group" or "Track" Buttons...assign your missing buttons there plus a "Track-Select-Button" ( makes the old G/T-Buttons obsolete )...i think it´s better than building a new frontpanel...

monokinetic Posted May 28, 2011 Author Report Posted May 28, 2011 aha OK thanks for confirming it! Interesting idea with the G/T buttons. I already have Track-Select on a bookmark :) @TK: I know there is not many of us with the V3 panel, but it might solve this problem if the GP > Assign/Trigger page allowed you to select the trigger layer currently being edited. I have a feeling this worked at some point, because on that page you can "choose" a trigger by pressing the A to H buttons i.e. it starts flashing. David Quote
monokinetic Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Posted June 16, 2011 Sorry to drag this up again, but I was just wondering if there would be a chance of fixing this behaviour? David Quote
TK. Posted July 18, 2011 Report Posted July 18, 2011 I implemented this, it will be available in the upcoming beta43 Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote
