If the MD is based on the Roland XOX boxes, why isn't there a Last Step feature, so you set the number of steps played in a bar ? Surely Elektron could have added this, as a drum machine ain't a drum machine without a last step setting?

have u ever tried pressing Funtion & Scale Setup together? just click then on the last step u want ;) > If the MD is based on the Roland XOX boxes, why isn't there a Last Step feature, so you set the number of steps played in a bar ?

This feature exists, and have been there since the beginning. Have a look at page 38 in the manual. http://www.elektron.se/support/hw/Elektron_SPS1_SPS1UW_Users_Manual_OS1.32.pdf It is named "scale setup", not "last step". /Janne

What I always thought would be interesting would be to allow for the scale setup to 'overflow' to the next pattern. the JoMoX does this, allowing you to chain patterns without going into song mode. Its very ingeneious.

maybe not quite what you had in mind but you can chain patterns w/o going into song mode. when you switch patterns in pattern mode just hold down the patterns (simultaneously) you want to chain and it will cycle through them. --- In elektron-users@yahoogroups.com, Tarekith <Tarekith@...> wrote: > > That would be awesome for my uses. > > On 7/12/07, Tony Scharf <noisetheorem@...> wrote: > > What I always thought would be interesting would be to allow for the scale > > setup to 'overflow' to the next pattern. the JoMoX does this, allowing you > > to chain patterns without going into song mode.

Yeah, but what we describe is different in that the chain is saved. It is a convenient way of extending the max length of a pattern ( which is one of the week points of the md imho) Tony

Yeah i find that a good point actually, 64 steps (4 measures) is better than 32 steps (2 measures) which i think is rather poor with the MD. But then again i think of the 606,707, 727 & 909 which only have 16 steps, the 808 32 steps. Korg ER-1 has 64 steps though! Md should have had 64 steps to allow for variations so you wouldnt need to pattern chain so often as it would take up user space. I think there is scope for Elektron to make OS updates, say go from 32 steps to 64. --- In elektron-users@yahoogroups.com, "Tony Scharf" <noisetheorem@...> wrote: > > Yeah, but what we describe is different in that the chain is saved. > It is a convenient way of extending the max length of a pattern ( > which is one of the week points of the md imho) > > Tony > > On 7/15/07, dayjob111 <dayjob111@...> wrote: > > maybe not quite what you had in mind but you can chain patterns w/o > > going into song mode. when you switch patterns in pattern mode just > > hold down the patterns (simultaneously) you want to chain and it will > > cycle through them. > > > > --- In elektron-users@yahoogroups.com, Tarekith <Tarekith@> wrote: > > > > > > That would be awesome for my uses. > > > > > > On 7/12/07, Tony Scharf <noisetheorem@> wrote: > > > > What I always thought would be interesting would be to allow for > > the scale > > > > setup to 'overflow' to the next pattern. the JoMoX does this, > > allowing you > > > > to chain patterns without going into song mode.
