SONG MODE : repeating a pattern until told to move forward?...

[tupinamba]

Hi,

I first posted this question in another topic and I think this was a bit confusing...

So: in SONG MODE, is there a way to tell the sequencer to repeat a certain pattern endlessly until manually told to move to the next song step?

Then your solo can last until you or your audience get bored... :shifty:

Thanks!

Yes, there is a way: use phrases (16 phrases are available per song).

Example:

Pos Actn   G1   G2   G3   G4

A1  x 1   1:A1 2:A1 3:A1 4:A1

A2  x 1   1:A1 2:A2 3:A1 4:A1

A3  x 1   1:A1 2:A3 3:A1 4:A1

A4  x 1   1:A1 2:A4 3:A1 4:A1

A5  Jump  Pos A1

[/code]




This will loop between Song position A1..A4





Now create a second phrase, starting at B1

[code]

Pos Actn   G1   G2   G3   G4

B1  x 1   1:A1 2:B1 3:A1 4:A1

B2  x 1   1:A1 2:B1 3:A1 4:A1

B3  x 1   1:A1 2:B2 3:A1 4:A2

B4  x 1   1:A1 2:B3 3:A1 4:A2

B5  Jump  Pos B3

When the sequencer is playing, you are able to switch between phrase A and B with the GP buttons Note that you can also add a mixer map (for sound settings/program changes/volumes, etc), Mutes and Tempo to a phrase:

Pos Actn   G1   G2   G3   G4

C1  Mixer Map 1

C2  Mutes oooo oooo oooo oooo

C3  Tempo 132 BPM

C4  x 1   1:A1 2:C1 3:A1 4:A1

C5  x 1   1:A1 2:C1 3:A1 4:A1

C6  x 1   1:A1 2:C2 3:A1 4:A2

C7  x 1   1:A1 2:C3 3:A1 4:A2

C8  Jump  Pos C6

[/code]

Wow, that's great!

Each day comes with another possibility unravelling to me... Is it ever going to stop? :smile:

Thanks again Thorsten.

[tupinamba]

... OK, one more time :blush:

In PHRASE MODE, it looks like it doesn't automatically go from song position A1 to song position A2 (unless A1 is TEMPO, MUTE, etc...). i.e. it repeats the same pattern, unlike in the exemple you gave me where you created a loop from A1 to A4 and all that made a phrase.

Is there something to set up?

You are right, I overlooked this.

In the next version it will be possible to change between phrases in song mode as well.

With the changed behavior it will work for your usecase

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Thanks Thorsten, this is great news.

All the Best,

Hi Thorsten,

Is there anything new on the subject ?...

And something else : is it possible to repeat a 16-step-long fragment of a long pattern (128 for instance)? When composing it would make things easier when you can hear the portion you're working on as a loop...

Thanks!

Thanks for the reminder - I wanted this feature as well, therefore I will implement it tomorrow. :)

And something else : is it possible to repeat a 16-step-long fragment of a long pattern (128 for instance)?

yes, just enable loop mode with MENU+SCRUB

This mode can be configured in the Fx->Loop page, e.g. it's possible to loop only the step view (16 steps) of the currently selected track, or all tracks. And the loop length can be configured as well.

Best Regards, thorsten.
