Re: [elektron] Re: time offset

2003-01-24 by Polyhex .

Having a step sequencer with tick resolution would be incredibly 
hardcore/impractical...

To get the effect your after set the feedback in the delay unit to 0 and the 
delay time to a small amount, adjust the delay level to suit, this will give 
you the kind of effect your looking for. Add some modulation to give you 
chorus/flanger effects.

The greatest resolution on the machinedrum can be achieved by setting the 
pattern length to 32 and then doubling or trippling (either just by setting 
the tempo to twice the amount and or if not in range using the tempo 
doubler) your tempo. This leaves you with one bar of 64th notes.
