<< Delay is now scaled by tbase, and there are some changes to the repeat 
events... rep*N is gone. >>

ah. bollocks. & I was just about to write & say that I'd sussed out the best 
values of note length & rep*N values for t-bases of 16 & 32 to create the 
trills I was after creating. (3&4 in tb16 in case anyone's interested).

ah but so maybe somehow we can make a pre-trill now....

erm.... something that is potentially going to bother me- & I think this has 
come up already, & colin said we must've all been asleep not to have spotted 
it sooner:
I have noticed that I lose controller access to other midi channels whilst in 
record, which means my elaborately-programmed mk449C controller keyboard 
can't talk to my proteus while I'm jamming. ermm....

anyway, as y'all might've gathered, I have been using number 73 in 
live-record mode a lot, both from pattern edit & from play, & often with one or more 
other tracks copping their notes from the live track. 

depending what other aux events you have set on these tracks, it's easy to 
get some nicely syncopated chords to follow a lead-line. 

(yes, a lead-line. the live record function is a bit like a midi jam-man or a 
clocked-delay, especially if you are in play mode & recording over several 
slow patterns in a little chain, & one of the "chase" patterns is playing the 
same sound on a different channel.... see, it's not just about berlin-school 
round here!)

next on the agenda (the journey of discovery) is to try to get the offset 
notes semi-randomised so that a "chase" pattern can "make up" it's own chord 
triads. 
the root note will mostly come from the live track, but sometimes also from a 
"reliable" source track so that it is influenced both by the live keyboard &, 
say, a bassline on another track. then I want each step to be a chord, but 
for the note-clusters to be changing a little each time round. I somehow suspect 
that this is already in there, & means using the accumulators....
(I used to do something a bit like this with a qy70, of all things...)

oh- where's that tempo-lock hiding? I have to be as careful with the tempo 
knob as with the pitch-wheel on my mellotron.....

colin, this thing's a fecking monster. the notron restoration looks a long 
way off now.

The bug that came up before was notes all going thru on the same channel
regardless of setting (a problem not made obvious by my simple controller
keyboard, which only transmits on channel 1).
The record code over-rides the normal pass-thru code, and I had a notion at
one point that controllers might be recorded too - which was why I didn't
pass them thru during record. I'll restore controller pass thru during
record on the next build. I think it may even be there, but commented out...

It's weird - Yahoo wants me to log in, but doesn't log me in when I enter my
password. I know I'm not forgetting the password, since when I change the
spelling on it, THEN I get the message 'invalid password'.

In any case, I wanted to upgrade, so if anyone could send me this, I'd
appreciate it.

Thanks,
Gene

I entered the group site through the www.p3sequencer.com page, and yahoo did
not let me log in. But when I typed in the yahoo group site directly, it did
let me log in... Is this some little quirk that everyone knows about but me?

I've mailed Gene the file.
If anyone else has trouble with Yahoo files, I'll copy it to my website.

Cheers,
