In v4 you can save patterns to other part and/or track locations as 'new' or 'ghost' patterns. A new pattern is just that - a unique new pattern in the save location. With a ghost pattern, a single instance of a pattern is used in two or more locations. Ghosting allows you to edit a pattern once, and have it change in all the places that pattern is used, plus it saves on pattern storage. It also allows you to very quickly layer the same pattern across multiple instruments for complex composite sounds - an unexpected bonus I've been having great fun with. The changed behaviour in beta 6 relates to what happens when you over-write a real pattern that has been ghosted. Say you create a pattern on part 1/track 1, then ghost it to a few other locations. If you then edit another real pattern, and save it to part 1/track 1 as a ghost, the previous behaviour was to have any ghosts of the pattern being over-written re-directed to the new pattern being saved to part 1/track 1. I decided that probably wasn't desirable - it made it too easy to unexpectedly change a number of parts when you only intended to change one pattern. So the new behaviour is that if you over-write a pattern that has been ghosted elsewhere with a ghost of another pattern, the first ghost of the pattern being over-written becomes 'real', and any other ghosts point to the new real pattern. If you've been using ghosting of patterns, and that doesn't make sense to you, let me know. Best regards, Colin Fraser Sequentix Music Systems Ltd http://www.sequentix.com
