Yes, choosing the next "allowed" note. Just to avoid that something too
strange drops in when I turn the knobs on the fly.
I read this text "The making of Rubycon" again. TD created these impressive
sequences by running 2 sequencers in parallel, selecting one to control a
synth
while changing the pattern on the other in realtime.
I tried this, and it's a nice method, but a quantizer is really recommended
here ...
BTW, I finally found my way to synchronize sequence patterns to my 8 track
tape. No synchronizer, no extra trigger track. I start with the bass line,
then
I play this back into a comparator, and the comparator output triggers a AD
envelope (with retrigger disabled; built from a SSM2056). The AD output is
used
as clock for the new sequence.
I *do* loose some pulses sometimes, but then again this doesn't matter for
this kind of music.
