How do you sequence?

2006-11-26 by Jasper de Jong

Hi all!

I'm in love with both my MD-UW and MM. But, I've been struggling with finding a way to properly sequence them. Let me tell you what I mean.

Some of you might recognise the point where you've sequenced a very nice pattern (using the MD,MM and sequencer-soft) and you feel it should go into the next phase: building a proper track out of it. But, you want more complexity than is possible with muting-unmuting tracks on the Elektron gear. As parameter locks don't travel through midi, you have to use the Elektron sequencer. Unfortunately, you can't mute/unmute through midi (yet?! PLEASSEEE ELEKTRON...:). 

Do you people actually copy your base pattern in 10 alternative patterns, altern them and then sequence in song mode? Or do you transfer tracks without pattern locks to your software sequencer? I find that all the messing about with different patterns destracts from the actual song. Building a pattern is fast as h*ll, but when you want to start building a track it gets very 'complicated'. I'm really curious about how you solve this 'problem' yourself!

Sorry for the bad english...:(

Bye,
Jasper
