Re: [elektron] sound on sound

would a feature like this be impossible for elektron to implement? as 
i'm sure you're all sick of hearing about my gameboy, i'll just chime 
in that it's super easy to have different length patterns on each of 
it's four channels, evolving peices are a synch ...(even more so with 
automated tables which will step through a series of settings, like 
an arp ;)

another thing LSDj does really well is pattern switching. each of the 
four channels can play one pattern at once, and you can switch which 
pattern each of the channels is playing indipendently of each other. 
it makes cueing and switching very easy ... if each of the MnM's six 
tracks could have individual patterns rather than a pattern 
containing info for all six channels, that would be ruleing.

having patterns be able to play on channels rather than channels play 
in patterns also makes song composition go really quickly.

however i know the MnM is set up like a typical drum machine/techno 
box so perhaps people used to old machines would think this is a wack 
way of doing things. 

so, back to the start ...for me the question is ... would individual 
patterns for each channel be technically feasible or is it mearly a 
pipe dream??? hehe

p.s. still havin good fun w/ the box, learning my way around it a 
lot, have come up with a track or two i like enough ... got to do a 
few more then i'll share he-heeeee

p.p.s. another thing i like about LSDj/trackers is that you can have 
a very short pattern playing a note over and over again for working 
sounds. i'm thinking of trying to set something like this up, a short 
work pattern i can quickly paste a track i'm working on ... but when 
you paste a track does it also paste length? sorry for bringing it up 
without trying it out 1st, but i'll forget to mention it otherwise i 
think :O
