or something that inspires an equivalent amount of joy... ahem... anyway, last night i combined the two styles of knob events and had more fun sequencing than i think i've ever had. here's the deal: aux A: Mask AuxB Kn>n Step 1 value: 15 aux B: Knob n -> Aux C Step 1 value: 17 aux C: Set lstep abs Step 1 value: 127 aux b and c allow me to change the last step of the pattern whenever i want, creating lovely polyrhythms, and aux a lets me get back to the saved pattern. or it lets you set a particular lstep value and kick it in whenever i want. it's kind of magical... if it's looping funky, switching the effect will make it sync correctly with the rest of the tracks too... i don't know how this happens, but really i don't care. it rocks. :) knob 17 is the top row knob above track 1 (which is the track i was using this stuff on), so i can set the lstep value from there, and use the note knob to switch the effect on or off. but there's no reason you couldn't use an empty track and aux redirection to leave the knobs above the tracks free for masking, while using the knobs above the equivalent part (part 1 knobs would redirect to track 1, etc.) to produce other effects... this is a formula for much head-bopping and hand-waving... enjoy! bleep. out. --- http://leichenfeld.iuma.com http://thirdwavecollective.com
