track volume and polyrhythms

2004-08-24 by blip

hi all...

in the early morning dreamstate this morning, i dreamed up what seems to
be be a nice new feature... in play and playlist mode, the note knobs
could control track volume (midi cc#7), and the upper could control pan
(for which i forget the cc#). would this be useful to anyone else? i know
it would for me... most of my synths go into an 01v, and i tend to set the
volume of a track for optimum input signal on the 01v, then use the 01v
itself for the actual track volume...

currently, i've got my MC-909 sending sync to the P3, and it also sends
track volume. however, when i stop the 909 and hit play again, any P3
tracks tend to get very loud. i looked through the manual and i couldn't
find any particular track level parameter, so i figured that the above
solution would be nice. also, i don't use midi pan too much (01v), so
having something like track xpose on the upper knobs would be cool too,
instead of pan.

now on to the fun bit...

you can probably already do this in some way, and if so i'd love to know
how, but here's my idea... if you have a pattern that is 8 steps in length
and one that is 7 steps in length, they would both loop at the same
temporal time... meaning that each step in the 7-step track is taking a
little longer than each step in the 8-step track... of course, 8 and 7 are
just examples... is there already a way to do this? or would this be
possible to do? if so, would it require too much code-heavy calculation?
this is not a must have for me, more like a funky-to-have, heh...

bleep.
out.
