Analogue-sequencer

Hi

Second time lucky I hope.

ALL the aux events are selectable now.


Oh ... and something I think I forgot to mention ... The quickest way 
of getting to the pattern config editor is to double click one of the 
pattern blocks in the main screen.

Wow - this is actually very impressive.

You'll convert me to them computer things yet - brilliant work David!

The display of what's 'in' a pattern is very handy.
I think I might have to pinch that for P3 itself - possibly an 'info'
softkey in playlist edit, that will tell you what's in each of the
patterns...

Do I need a computer to use the p3?

No. You only need a computer if you want to run P3Tools, which is a sysex
librarian and firmware updater, or similar.

I only have a P3, so I can't compare the two in the same manner as 
Jez. But when I decided to buy an Analogue style sequencer I was 
comparing the 16/3 and the P3 by reading manuals and comparing specs.

I went for the P3 for the following reasons ...

1) 8 Tracks on P3, 3 on the 16/3.

2) Force To Scale.
I can't produce a bum note however much I twiddle those knobs (and in 
my case that's a god send ;-) ). Doesn't exist on the 16/3 (or 
anything alse near this price range).

3) Aux Events and Accumulators.
Sounded interesting and powerful. The reality is they are the 
trickiest thing on the P3 to get your head around. But stick at it 
and its really worth it. Powerful ... god yes. There is nothing like 
this on any other sequencer I know of.

4) Great support from the developer and other users.
If you trawl through this group you can see that Colin is more than 
happy to answer questions from users and help them out with problems. 
Even better, he is open to feature requests and implements the best 
of them. You also have users like Mr Nagle, (a man who has used more 
than his fair share of sequencers in his time), also providing their 
help and expertise (Just look at Paul's user guide).


I've had a P3 for 6 months now, and have no regrets. Its such damn 
good fun to use.
No ... actually I have one regret. And that is that I should have got 
one MUCH MUCH sooner.


Hope that helps

Dave

just as a matter of interest, why did you guys choose the p3 over the Doepfer Maq 16/3? Are they different in their functionality?

Richard,
As someone who uses both I feel fairly qualified to answer this with a
resounding 'yes'. When I got the P3 I thought I'd be able to sell the MAQ,
but it is still useful to have a discrete knob for each note on each track
for tweaking in performance. By way of contrast, the P3 is more of a set-up
your notes in advance and edit patterns kind of unit. I find they complement
each other, but may end up just using the P3 to reduce the amount of gear
needed for a gig, especially if when the promised 'sticky' keys arrive.

I should add that is highly unlikely I would have bought both if I had got
the P3 first :-)
Auxes and accumulators are great once you get your head round them and allow
an almost modular approach to sequences
FTS is cool, I can only use my MAQ with my Nord Modular as it has Note
Quantise modules
I'll second the point about support, I don't think it gets any better
Cheers
Jez
