Re: [elektron] MM: different lengths per track possible?

2007-08-23 by roby@sweet-trip.net

Either I was too drunk'n'high last night, or something, but I swear I was
doing polyphonic stuff with MIDI tracks in my MM sequencing my Virus...

But yeah, your idea is something I've though about as well, but I'm not
sure it would work well in song mode, if you know what I mean.  Unless
Elektron whips out a clever way of compensating for gaps due to tracks
with different steps.
