Analogue-sequencer

Folks,

The new firmware beta version finally implements that 'set lstep 
abs' and 'set lstep rel' events, which modify the current 'last 
step' setting for each track, to dynamically change the current 
pattern length.
This is just about the last extra feature on my current TBI list.
There are a few more events to add, but these will just modify 
existing status values.
I'm planning to take a break from P3 coding for a while to get some 
other stuff done, so if there's something you're desperately waiting 
for, you might like to remind me now...

Cheers,
Colin f

ok, i didn't dare to ask, but my two wishes:

1. Midisync: Treat Continue as Start
Your quick fix made little improvement, but I still have some 
problems, so I don't need the P3 to react correct to continue with 
all the song-pointer stuff etc. as I always start at the begginning 
of a bar. So it would be nice, if the P3 would just start if it 
receives a continue signal.

2. Set Vel Rel 
I'd like to have the possibility to exlude certain steps from beeing 
Vel-Accumulated, you once mentioned this could be done by setting the 
Vel Rel for these steps to 0 (Zero) and all other steps have the Vel 
accumulated. Or maybe by adding a AddAuxDToVel event. What I like to 
do is have certain steps at fixed vel, and others steps getting more 
and more accent. 

And now that you mentioned it, yes I am really desperately waiting 
for these two things.

Cheers,
Stoffel

hi kids,
personally i do use the X to prevent transposition/note-accumulation 
as you can use this for neat transposing melodies, but i've also come 
across the need/wish to prevent velocity or auxD accumulation, much 
as Stoffel says.

btw the 'repeat'-events are cool! saves me having to use several 
patterns to do drum rolls & hihat patterns 'n' stuff..a nice trick is 
to set the 'repeat'N value to it's maximum, and then playing around 
with note lengths to have the repeats drop in at will; setting note 
length to 3 will give you 4 repeats, note length at 4 gives you a 
quick triplet and so on...great fun. also rather cute when combined 
with different note delay values :)

Maybe a user config option that alters the behaviour of  the X row? I
personally don't use X to prevent transposition but I would use it if,
instead, it protected from accumulation (of any kind).
