Duggle Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I've had my SEQV4 up and running for some months now, and I realise my usage of it is now being limited through an incomplete understanding: A pattern consists of 4 parallel tracks (1,2,3,4). Each track has it's own properties including port, channel, length, direction, resolution, etc. The pattern is known by a designator A1..A8, through to H1..H8 ( 64 patterns) There are 4 track Groups. Each group has it's own set of patterns (A1..H8) This gives rise to 4*64 patterns stored in (the 4 bank files of) a session? I'll pause here, please pull me up if I've stated anything wrong...

Marxon Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) Hi Duggle,your statements are not completely correct. :smile:From the manual:"...a session stores 256 patterns, 128 mixer maps, 64 songs!..."and"A single session contains:MBSEQ_B1.V4 .. MBSEQ_B4.V4: four banks. Each bank stores 64 patterns and is usually assigned to the appr. track group G1..G4, but can also be shared between the groups"Each group has it's own set of patterns (A1..H8) -Patterns can be shared between tracks-they are enumerated from A1-H8 and a1-h8MarxonEDIT:Stop... Now I am also confused:A1-h8 = 2*64 = 128 PatternsSo are there 128 or 256 Patterns available? Edited May 29, 2013 by Marxon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggle Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Hi Marxon,thanks for your input.I thought I had a viable explanation for how the 256 patterns were organised: 4*64=256On the Grp. Save Pattern page the "to Target" can have values 1:A1 to 1:H8 to 2:A1 to 2:H8 etc, to 4:H8That would be the 256 patterns? Now in the "Pattern Screen" part of the manual it says there is lowercase designators a..h providing another 64 patterns, though I can't activate them by pressing the left GP buttons twice. It also talks about accessing Bankstick which seems a bit old. Still not clear.... -Patterns can be shared between tracksI think you can copy (the pattern contents) material from one track group to another?

Marxon Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) Hi again,Hi Marxon,thanks for your input.I thought I had a viable explanation for how the 256 patterns were organised: 4*64=256On the Grp. Save Pattern page the "to Target" can have values 1:A1 to 1:H8 to 2:A1 to 2:H8 etc, to 4:H8That would be the 256 patterns?-Confirmed Now in the "Pattern Screen" part of the manual it says there is lowercase designators a..h providing another 64 patterns, though I can't activate them by pressing the left GP buttons twice. It also talks about accessing Bankstick which seems a bit old. -me to, lowercase letters are not available.I did not tested this before :( Still not clear.... I think you can copy (the pattern contents) material from one track group to another?EDIT-OK i did not express myself very well. Not single tracks can be shared but "set of tracks" for examplefrom Group 4, Track 13-16into Group 1, Track 1-4This can be done with encoder 3, 7, 11, 15.So "categories" = "banks"... little bit confusing Edited May 29, 2013 by Marxon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
