hi folks I' just started to design a P3 case. there will be a standard case and an extended. give me your statements! grz mag see the pics under: http://www.magdesign.ch/SeqForm/StandardSeqRack.jpg http://www.magdesign.ch/SeqForm/StandardSeqTableVers.jpg -------------------------

Hi Colin, I've been playing about with it all weekend and i've come to the conclusion that you're right about the timer resolution etc.. It seems it "counts" in milliseconds rather than bpm's leading to the discreprancies i've noted. Sad Innit??? regards, Phil > > Where are you s

To summarize and to see if I understand this well: 1. A pattern is a looping sequence of events, maximum 16. 2. A track is the road where the patterns are played, you have a maximum of 4, 8, or 16 patterns on one track and you have a maximum of 8 tracks simultaniously. 3. A playl

Another question/problem. Assume I have one pattern programmed. entering playlist then, setting length to 3, creating three steps in the playlist, where step 1 plays pattern 1 once, step 2 plays pattern 1 once but transposed by +3 and step three plays pattern 1 twice, but transpo

oh, it's still pretty early in the morning here...was just having my morning coffee. While Logic is quite a powerful program, I came to the conclusion that unless you use the Logic and hardware sequencer together only for syncing, it just gets way too complicated. From: scd Reply

Off the top of my head, there would be several ways to accomplish it (including Paul's). You could put the Andromeda on 'local on', and choose the p3 midi track in Logic. So, you'd hear the Andromeda, and the MIDI would still go through the p3 midi track in logic to the p3. You c
2004-06-05 by scd
Thanks Gene! Yes, I figured out that the P3 wants to be used as a stand alone sequencer when using it that way (or in arp mode). That's more for live usage. But it still are great options! Environments in Logic? Give me a break! I just started working with Logic :-))))) But as I

Trying this for the first time I do not understand how it works... First of all: HOW to set this up? I have Logic started up, the Andromeda and the P3. A6 in and out is on port 1 of the midi interface P3 in and out is on port 2 of the midi interface. A6 is set to local control of

After a bit of jiggling about with the numbers, it looks like I'll be able to generate the clock timer values from a tempo value by using a 32 bit integer divide by an 8 or 16 bit tempo value. With a bit of luck, this will actually reduce the size of the code (assuming the divide

2004-06-04 by Colin f
I forgot I changed the P3 cock to 18Mhz... which means the clock period resolution is in steps of 0.666 microseconds, and the minimum tempo is therefore about 30 bpm. I'm having play with some integer maths to see if I can calculate timer values on the fly from a 16 bit tempo. Ma

> So how accurate is the p3 in the higher regions of the bpm??? It's very accurate at each setting - the issue is just the distance between discrete tempos. The current map runs from 40 to 120 bpm in 2 bpm steps, 120 to 150 bpm in 0.5 bpm steps, 150 to 170 bpm in 2 bpm steps, and

Using it stand alone I would opt for the lower speeds too. I would not need to go above 160 either. But I would definitely go lower then 40 if possible. The lower the better :-) Op 4-jun-04 om 23:05 heeft bruce thedekaa het volgende geschreven: > > Hi Colin, > > If i get the box
2004-06-04 by bruce thedekaa
Hi Colin, If i get the box i will use it between 80 and 195 bpm (i use the 80 to make odd sequences that go 160 bpm but in a different swing). So how accurate is the p3 in the higher regions of the bpm??? Greets Bruce --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun.
