Analogue-sequencer

OK gang,

here's one just to get you started. 

Initialise a bank. Create a pattern on track 1 - 16 steps and going up
in pitch so what comes next is easy to spot.

Create the following Auxes:

Aux A  Mask dAcc,Kn>n
Aux B  Mask auxC,Kn>n
Aux C  offset AuxD rel (ensure limits set to 127 and not reset -
Colin, should this be the default?)
Aux D  set direction

For each Aux, enable just step 1. Set the value 70 using the upper
knob for Aux A and B. Set the value 10 for Aux C so there are nice
obvious offsets. Set Aux D to zero - which corresponds to forwards for
the "set direction" event.

Save the pattern. Remember that the knobs are zero at the start until
you start to turn them and this means no changes will happen until you
turn them from zero upwards.

As it plays, you hear it play the pattern forwards as you'd expect.
Turn the upper knob of the two above the track past the value 70.
Nothing changes. Now turn the Lower knob past 70 and the direction
changes begin. When you hear something you like, turn the upper knob
back below 70 and it freezes the new direction. This is masking the D
accumulator action. To return to the pattern's own direction, turn the
lower knob below 70 - this masks the offset action. Experiment with
both knobs and you see you can make this kind of change without
editing the pattern. 

It's perhaps a little long-winded as an example but it's Saturday
afternoon and the smoke is rising. It also uses more aux events than
is ideal but I've already grovelled for a way round that.. possibly
there's a better way to achieve this already but try it out and see
what occurs...

Why not post your own examples?

Bong!
