Elektron Musical Instruments

Hi!

I tend to leave my pc out more and more because it tends to be too 
distracting. I really like the MM for its sequencing possibilities, 
although not being able to sequence the midi tracks in polyphony 
makes me having to switch on the pc now and then. I understand that 
that would be too far off the MM philosophy and structure, so I can 
live with that.

What I do find to be a real pity, is the fact that you can't set a 
different number of steps per track. Ie, one is forced to stay in a 
4/4 situation, making things rather static (despite the fantastic 
LFO and paramater lock stuff). It would be lovely if it would be 
possible to create 'syncopic'looping madness. 

I've been thinking about a way around, but all I could come up were 
arpeggio's. Still, then you'd have the problem of a fixed triggering 
moment (ie the first step of the track). 

Anyone else dealed with this matter succesfully? I'd love to hear 
about it!

Bye,
Jasper

You can change the length of steps in pages ya know.

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.

but not per track as far as i know.

like:
MIDI TRACK 1: 16 steps
MIDI TRACK 2: 12 steps
