RE: [Evolver] Re: Per/pek - saving programs edited in combo mode

2006-02-28 by Andrew Capon

So if I was to load 4 separate programs into the combo and then edit the
sequence of each one and save the combo that would work ok?

 

It's only when I use the same program in the 4 parts and edit them that
I cannot save correctly?

 

Have I got this right?

 

Cheers

 

Andy

mode

 

	When you're in combo mode, there are 2 kinds of changes you can
make, if you look at it with this distinction in mind. You can make
changes to the combo level features to each part - tempo, transpose,
mode (how many voices per part), clock div, etc. But you can also then
go and make changes to the sounds - filter cutoff for the sound in part
1, or vca level for the sound in part 2, etc. These are the changes that
you normally save when you save a program in program mode. Some of the
basic sequencer parameters are found on both levels - temp/clock
division of the sequencer, for instance.
	
	Ok - So, suppose you've started to work this way.....I
discovered this when I wanted to mess around with an identical
program/sequence in 2 of the parts, and then start making changes to
various parameters. 
	
	Well, you've made a bunch of changes and it sounds really good,
or really bad (I sometimes like to save some of my most profoundly bad
stuff in case I ever get employed by the CIA), and you want to save some
of the program edits and sequencer changes. Well, you can't do it. There
is no way. The combo level stuff will save with the combo, but there is
no way to save the stuff that changes the sound itself, or anything to
do with specific steps of the sequencer, any modulations, etc...But
don't make the mistake of saving the combo, or you will lose everything
right there, except for the combo stuff - the programs you will save
will be the originals, not the edited versions.
	
	It's also a mistake when you're working this way to change any
of several parameters that give basic information about the structure of
that combo part. If you decide to use 2 voices in channel 2, for
instance, rather than 1, that will reinitialize all of the programs in
all of the parts to their settings when they were first loaded into the
combo part. Same with calling up another sound for part 4.
	
	These issues effect  your enjoyment only to the degree to which
you want to edit and save your work in combo mode. 
	
	
	
	
	"HI,
	 
	I am thinking of getting a PEK and this thread is worrying me
slightly.
	 
	Can I check I have this correct in my head. 
	 
	If I have a combo with 4 different programs, I fiddle with the
knobs to set everythng up as I like, then I cannot save this work?
	 
	Also If I load a different program I loose all my changes?
	 
	Have I got this correct?
	 
	Thanks
	 
	Andy"
