Analogue-sequencer

Oh my oh my...

My eternal quest for the perfect sequencer seems to have gotten a lot 
less eternal. This device is *amazing*. My deposit will be coming in 
in a couple of weeks. Wow. What a brilliant instrument.

Okay, a couple of really really lame little questions. And yes, I 
have RTFM'd (well, skimmed it).

- First, it seems that you have access to all that lovely stuff in 
pattern edit mode *while* the sequencer is playing. Is there anything 
you're restricted from doing while it's playing? I know you can't 
switch parts, but that makes sense. Is there anything else?

- I think the answer to this question is Yes. Is there a way to be 
playing 16th notes on one track and 1/4 notes etc. on others? There 
seem to be multiple clock division settings discussed in the manual, 
but I couldn't directly answer this question. If the answer is in 
fact Yes, how easy is this to do?

Wow.

hi f,

bear in mind that the manual is for version 3.77 and we're now at 
3.81b3..there've been some major changes since then :)

i'm not quite sure on what you mean with 'switch parts', but so far i 
haven't been able to find anything i couldn't change on the fly, with 
the sequencer running smoothly all the way. the only exception to 
this are the SysEx firmware & data dumps.

the answer is indeed yes, and it's as simple as hitting a button..

and i must say that since owning a P3 my own personal quest for 'that 
perfect sequencer' is pretty much over, apart from harrassing Colin 
with my requests for additional functions...which i think is largely 
his own fault as the flexibility of the machine and the functions 
he's already implemented give me ideas for other stuff i would 
otherwise never have thought of. ;)

Ah yes, that reminds me...
I'll have to check back over the revision file to see what I've done !

yup... i'm drooling over this random direction thing... i should 
check out what else has changed, heh.

what buttons 9 thru 16 do...
