Re: [elektron] sound on sound

Why dont you just set up the patterns to play this way.  I know what 
you mean by being easier, but that doesn't mean you can't do it on 
these sequencers.  Just make it a different machine and have it mute 
and unmute and change as the song goes.  You could even have 
evolving kits as you go.  Things could always be easier a different 
way for each piece of gear, but you gotta work with what you got.  
If it's getting too hard maybe you need to change your approach.

About the 28 step patterns just make two patterns of 14....

Alot of what's been said recentlly seems to me to not be impossible 
on the MD at least.  Different pattern lengths, you are limited by 
your longest pattern and in a chain it seems unlimited (more than 32 
steps).

It's kind of like asking to have a better resolution on this step 
pattern.

Just my opinion here.  I hope nobody lashes out at me.  I only have 
the MD btw not MnM.
