I'm after some sequences of more than 16 notes, can this be done ? If not can I use 2 or 3 tracks and alternate between tracks every time I go around the loop ? i.e. Track 1 first part, Track 2 second part (both same channel) and the just sequence 121212121 turning the tracks on and off ? Or is there an easier way ?

Setup each part so that it uses different GBar lengths. My master P3 has all its global bars set at 16 and repeats at 1. When I select multiple parts it therefore plays through each part in turn as you'd expect. Now using the newly enhanced Thru function I can send both P3s' output to one multitimbral module (a Virus as it happens) choosing which P3 sends data to which channel using prepared Parts with relevant tracks active/muted. The cunning bit happens when you set the second P3 to have different GBar lengths. And not just 32, 64 etc. but 62, 66 and 256 and so on. With all patterns synced to the Gbar you'd normally get some cool variations this way anyway but it's even better when each P3 now tracks its Parts at a different rate. You get combinations of parts playing that you didn't expect or plan: you can end up with tracks on both P3s playing the same MIDI channel at once, for example (so best make the patch polyphonic) but one may hang around longer than the other. I even tried GBar lengths like 17 just for laughs and it still ended up sounding cool. Just thought I'd share that... :) Paul ------------------------ Yahoo!
