There is a feature in song mode for the MD where you can define offset and
length (start and end points) for a given pattern which is a nice feature.
But I was wondering if anyone might know of way to define offset and length
for a pattern while in pattern mode?  I see this useful for pattern
triggering from external devices.  Imagine having the ability to trigger
only certain parts (or regions) of pattern which would aide itself to
on-the-fly fills and remixing of a giving pattern.

 

People are known to do this in software programs that can slice up wave
files and map midi-notes to the sliced regions and then play the different
parts of the wave from a sequencer for a remixed effect (common technique in
drum-and-bass).  But I would like to apply this same technique to the MD but
in terms of triggering regions of patterns.

 

Any ideas out there on how this could be accomplished with the current
capabilities of the MD today outside the use of song mode?

 

If not, I propose Elektron add the ability to define pattern offset and
length in the Map Editor.
