'Set Step Value' useage with new 'Drone' feature

'Set Step Value' useage with new 'Drone' feature

2006-06-09 by beakanddune

Hi all,

I have a couple of questions I hope someone might be able to help me 
with.

I was trying to find a way of having the 'length' of a single step be 
equal to 13 on the fourth bar of a repeating 16 step sequence (and 
equal to 7 on the other 3 passes). I decided that the best way to do 
this would be to use the  'Set Step Value' aux event to set a value 
of 13 and then use an acumulator mask to mask the 'Set Step Value' 
aux event.  I ran into a problem in that the 'Set Step Value' event 
has a max value of 12.  Am I doing something wrong here or is this 
likely a bug ?

Assuming that the aforementioned problem is a bug, is there a better 
way of achieving what I am trying to do ?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers

Simon

The implementation of length 13 is not finalised, and I haven't updated the
'set length' event yet.

The aux values are always stored as a number from 0 to 127.
The value is scaled to the required range depending on which event is
selected.
If I were to change to range of the 'set length' event to 13, existing
patterns which had values of 12 in there could then become 13.
So the final implementation of 'drone' will need a caveat that any 'set
length' values may need to be revisited.
