Elektron Musical Instruments

I usually switch to the one pattern at this point.  What I have been
doing recently is having four patterns playing in pattern mode in a
row.  When I want to edit, it depends on the situation.  The MD sounds
are quite easy to sequence getting it too perfect is not an issue it
comes out as a nice sound anyway.  Midi parts you can still record
with the MD button.  I find the way I want it played on my keyboard
then go back to the MD and hit the button to the same rhythm.  Then I
go back to the patterns.  I usually switch the four patterns to the
first two to chain.  I play and press pause on the pattern I want to
edit.  I usually get the first pattern to sound good, then I pause on
the second pattern.  Then I do the same to the last two patterns. 
Then I go back to all four and press pause when the appropiate pattern
needs a tweak or two.

I don't think song mode is that great for tweaking.  You should use
the chain in pattern mode.  I assume that is why they call it pattern
mode.  In song mode you can tweak over a few patterns.  I hope
Elektron comes up with a kit tweak page as was mentioned in the
requests a few month ago, so we can tweak different machines at once.
