v3.968 adds 'nudge'...
FUNC+'sync' in pattern edit pushes the current pattern 1 step 
forward.
Remember to have chg=P if you don't want the pattern back in sync at 
gbar end.

agh, i'm jumping in on this thread a little late... but here's my $.02
anyway... my MC-909 has two lovely buttons labeled "HOLD" and "PUSH."
these are meant to emulate a DJ holding and pushing a record on a
turntable to get it to sync up. what these buttons actually do is kick the
tempo down or up by about 40 bpm for the duration that you're holding them
down. this is wonderful for live, midi-sync-less jamming, plus it sounds
cool... this could be another way to address this sync issue. i haven't
used the P3 with anyone else yet, but i imagine that sync as it is
currently implemented would also be quite useful.

bleep.
out.

note range

2004-08-23 by blip

hello again...

the note range feature is awesome, but i do have some questions about it.
first, why does the range go from higher to lower as you turn the pot?
that seems odd to me. easy to get used to though. also, what do the
numbers mean? they don't seem to indicate octaves... e.g., a range of 5
with a base note of C0 will go all the way up past F#8.

thanks,
f.

bleep.
out.

Hans' problem is more to do with the relative positions of P3 tracks.
The 'sync' button resets the pattern being edited to step and the shift
keys rotate the pattern around. But once you rotate the pattern, the
knobs are all in the wrong positions. (I think) Hans wants to try the
pattern out at different offsets, without actually 'shifting' it, so he
can still see where all the knobs are.
DJ-style tempo control would be a nice feature, but not essential enough
for the space that's left I suspect.

Why not ? ;-)

The value is 4 minus the number of bits to the right each knob value is
shifted. 
A shift to the right is a divide by two. The underlying range of the
pots is 128. So the ranges are 128, 64, 32 and 16 notes.
This is by far the simplest implementation possible, coz I'm lazy.
I was going to change it so that the ranges were in integer numbers of
octaves, but this will need a fixed point division routine which I
haven't written yet, and might be a bit too code hungry to be worthwhile
- you can't convert a range of 128 to ranges of 120, 108, 96, etc
without doing some fractional division.

ah, gotcha... it's not important enough to get in the way of fun and crazy
new aux events.

bleep.

MM what does it mean?

I have noticed that now the shift function just works differently,or Am I a=
wake 
too many hours?
