Analogue-sequencer

>>Some people want to be able to define a single channel for their master
keyboard, and have other midi streams pass through as normal in record
mode,
possibly being FTS'ed on the way.
This will appear in the next release.<<

yowsa! that'll fix the drummer's pitch. can you quantise his timing on
the fly too? kidding, kidding.....
but I'll be able to process two or three rows of doepfer & a keyboard
or two while recording from a keyboard or a midibase (that's how
peavey spelt it).

so- while the machine is "in record", the notes that come in on the
appropriate channel are sent to the track that's being edited, while
notes & controllers on other channels go whistling straight through,
being FTS'd on the way.
hmmm....
colin, can you offer a choice somehow, between "track channel" & "base
channel" for this feature? 
any thoughts on whether this setting would (have to) be global or
track-by-track basis?
occurs to me that while one is building a set of sequences using the
keyboard, especially under stage lighting, one wouldn't want to have
to change the midi channel on one's controller whilst going back &
forth amongst the tracks. especially if one's controller is a
funny-looking bass with a tiny window above the strap-peg.

but this raises the issue of what to do with non-note traffic for
those tracks.... so I suppose:

>>>a user wanting to send p/b & m/w data to the attached noisemaker
whilst in "live-record" would have to use the "track-channel" setting.
>>>a user in the "base-channel" mode will probably have his
controllers set up so that they transmit on whatever channels he's
told them to, irrespective of what the keyboard's doing. that's how I
work, anyway. ymmv. 
so he can skip around the tracks in the p3 with his special midi
controllers still working, recording notes into them without having to
switch the keyboard away from the base channel unless he wants to use
his pitch-wheel or mod-wheel on an sequenced part.

now- can we change the in-use scale with a programme change on the
base channel? being able to change the part (& thus the FTS settings)
by program change would suffice, I think.... but what happens if you
send this program change while the p3 is in "live-record"?

I'll get me goat. paul, c'm here.....
