Analogue-sequencer

Well, it's been a while; and this one is only going to be use to those 
lucky enough to have access to more than one P3....

Setup each part so that it uses different GBar lengths. My master P3 has 
all its global bars set at 16 and repeats at 1. When I select multiple 
parts it therefore plays through each part in turn as you'd expect. Now 
using the newly enhanced Thru function I can send both P3s' output to 
one multitimbral module (a Virus as it happens) choosing which P3 sends 
data to which channel using prepared Parts with relevant tracks 
active/muted.

The cunning bit happens when you set the second P3 to have different 
GBar lengths. And not just 32, 64 etc. but 62, 66 and 256 and so on. 
With all patterns synced to the Gbar you'd normally get some cool 
variations this way anyway but it's even better when each P3 now tracks 
its  Parts at  a different rate. You get combinations of  parts playing 
that you didn't expect or plan: you can end up with tracks on both P3s 
playing the same MIDI channel at once, for example (so best make the 
patch polyphonic) but one may hang around longer than the other.

I even tried GBar lengths like 17 just for laughs and it still ended up 
sounding cool.

Just thought I'd share that... :)
