Analogue-sequencer

Hi,
I would be VERY happy with a number of preset chords too! Howmany presets do you think would fit?
If there is space for 1 user defined chord per track that would be perfect of course...

I've not tried this yet: On the RM1X there are ghost tracks if I recall correctly. These play the same pattern only transposed by a number of notes +/-. Could this be done with the auxes? Global for a track and later individually set per step?? We could then do 5-note chords (root + 4 auxes).
Maybe this could be a solution too?

Hope it helps. Good luck with the garage --> workshop/studio conversion... :-)
Eric

  In order to send a chord, P3 has to store all the notes that make up the
  chord somewhere.
  The data structure for a pattern has eight numeric rows - note, velocity,
  length, delay, aux A, B, C and D.
  To play chords, the auxes have to be used, otherwise the data structure has
  to change.
  Changing the data structure means there would be fewer patterns in total.
  Remember P3 is a pattern based sequencer, not an event based one.

  There is a possibility I have considered to allow 'preset' chords to be
  entered using only a single aux, and a 'chord' event.
  That would take a single value to select the type of chord to play, with the
  main note value setting the root note.
  But adding any significant number of chords, or a user interface for
  user-defind chords would quickly use up the last of the code space.
  I might experimentally add the event, and a few chords, such as major triad,
  minor triad, major/minor 7th, and see how much code it does use.
