Re: [analogue-sequencer] question about pattern/approach philosophy
2004-07-06 by darkstr1746@comcast.net
the discussions going on have led me to some goofy conclussions about this instrument even though i dont have one yet. some of the functions described sound an awful lot like the functions found in the old oberheim Cyclones. A tasty beast to be sure but the UI was despicable considering the depth involved. Are we approaching that level here?? some of the functions also sound like they are better suited for a computer device rather than a tabletop sequencer that is a "performance" device. or am i wrong on this?? was it designed more for studio work? doesn't matter to me... i'm still going to get one, but it just seems to me that the machine is getting so deep that it will be impossible to figure out what is going on from the limited space allowed for info transmission on the front panel. When it comes to shuffling parts around, wasn't that once the domain of computer based sequencers?? and now it's being put it a black box??... how is the average numb nut going to be able to keep track of what's going on? That said, i can't wait to get my hands on a machine that seems to be tailor made to reinforce my "how the hell did that happen" approach to composition. LMAO!!! kind regards john duval

A little... With chg=B in your playlist, the length of a repeat should be 1 gbar. With chg=P it's a little more complicated - the next repeat starts when the pattern is reset at it's last step (based on a separate count of 'position' for the random direction modes). If the length of the pattern is getting screwed around by aux events, it may be hard to predict when it's going to end if chg=P.
