Elektron Musical Instruments

I wrote about the 28 step pattern...

I think that you don't quite understand the spirit behind these requests.
The people who have made them all like the Monomachine very much (as far as
I can tell). However, there are still ways in which the user interface can
be improved in orde to aid creativity. Some improvements are not feasible
technically,  some might be contrary to the wishes of the majority of users,
and some might be specific to such a small minority that it isn't worth the
time and effort. In some of these cases, their is some workaround in which
the user could accomplish the desired goal, but because of the fact that the
workaround requires a different way of working altogether, it doesn't really
satisfy the goals of person who made the request.

In my case, I wanted to see the 14 step (or other length) step scales while
I was recording in pattern mode. One doesn't work the same way in song mode.
Therefore your solution (which I was certainly aware of) doesn't really
address my request at all. The improvement I requested would certainly help
me, though I would understand if no one else desired this change, or
Elektron thought that it would not be easy enough or impossible to
accomplish.

But before you minimize the requests of other users for improvements which
would really help them, think about the fact that it is not just the
eventual technical accomplishment, but the creative process that they might
be thinking about.

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.
