Analogue-sequencer

or something that inspires an equivalent amount of joy... ahem...

anyway, last night i combined the two styles of knob events and had more
fun sequencing than i think i've ever had. here's the deal:

aux A: Mask AuxB Kn>n		Step 1 value: 15
aux B: Knob n -> Aux C		Step 1 value: 17
aux C: Set lstep abs		Step 1 value: 127

aux b and c allow me to change the last step of the pattern whenever i
want, creating lovely polyrhythms, and aux a lets me get back to the saved
pattern. or it lets  you set a particular lstep value and kick it in
whenever i want. it's kind of magical... if it's looping funky, switching
the effect will make it sync correctly with the rest of the tracks too...
i don't know how this happens, but really i don't care. it rocks. :)

knob 17 is the top row knob above track 1 (which is the track i was using
this stuff on), so i can set the lstep value from there, and use the note
knob to switch the effect on or off. but there's no reason you couldn't
use an empty track and aux redirection to leave the knobs above the tracks
free for masking, while using the knobs above the equivalent part (part 1
knobs would redirect to track 1, etc.) to produce other effects...

this is a formula for much head-bopping and hand-waving... enjoy!

bleep.
out.

Great tip - do you mind if I include it in the User Guide thingummy?

Nice one!

Cheers. 

Here's another. I wanted to create a sequence that played many times,
as they do, but each time I wanted a single note to rise over a given
interval. 
To do this I first got stoned. Fortunately that is not necessary for
this to workl. Next I made my sequence and determined the note that
had to change. I set an aux event to offset notes by +1 and then set
the Aux note limit to 7. I set the note accumulator behaviour so that
it reversed and wrapped - essentially it plays up the semitones (scale
permitting, and that is cool cos some notes then get played twice -
nice bonus) until it reaches the limit. The wrap introduces a nice
extra few notes I didn't think of. The reverse also works nicely.
Drown it in delay, make it high pitched and sweet. Hell, stick some
reverb in there too. It is very, very hypnotic. It's been playing for
over an hour already. Good job Pat is not in. I also have this track
where the P3 selects notes on the drum machine. It transposes them
using an accumulator and also sends - randomly I think but I can't
actually remember - the MIDI CC that alters the start of the sample -
so the P3 says different words every time or parts of words. And of
course with random panning too, well, you can imagine...
