Hi,

I don't find a way to set a randomisation on a cycle instead of an average.. 

It could be useful to save some playlist-patterns.


(many thanks for the christmas gift .. 1.007)

I'm not clear what you mean here - could you elaborate ?

Sorry, my technical english is poor..

Actually it's not for randomisation but much more for mask events or intertrack.

Look:

I don't want to play all of my pattern the last of 4measures.. With playlist, I have to do:
Pattern 1= CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC pattern 2= CC.CCC.CCCC.C.CC

then a chain= pattern 1 x3 + pattern 2 x1 

But with a mask gate, it would be useful to set directly the gate off in pattern 1 and find a 
way to get 25%  means 1 time each 4 pattern. not chancy but cyclical

You can do that with intertrack, a kind of controlled randomisation but it takes more 
patterns..


Is that sounds something?

You can achieve this using an accumulator mask instead. So you mask by 
accumulator value - then it's up to you to increment the accumulator and 
set its limits and behaviours appropriately. OK, takes a little practice 
but it's the sort of thing I do quite a lot so definitely possible today. :)

Thanks Paul for your help.

With practice, we can do so much with P3. 
It's a jewel indeed.

It is pretty darn wicked. I use accumulators when I want a lot of 
un/masks to happen on the same pass- such as those times when you want 
to randomly mask the gates of a particular selection of notes, the whole 
selection toggling on or off as one. I also use them to create 
interesting rolling patterns for percussion. So  you might use the 
velocity accumulator, incrementing by large, uneven chunks on each pass. 
By setting the velocities of specific steps in your pattern to high and 
others to low (just wiggle the knobs to taste), then setting the 
accumulator rules to perhaps reverse bi-polar and wrap, you find that 
the accumulation produces totally new feels/patterns (obviously this 
depends on the synth being triggered - I use my Emu Proteus 2500 a lot 
for its hand percussion, djembes, talking drums and so on) as the 
accumulation runs its course. Add a a little random masking of steps 
doing note repeats, specific 'set note' or 'set velocity overrides' or a 
few more exotic things such as altering the timebase or length of 
pattern via aux events and coolness abounds.... :)
