Is it possible to have a pattern with say 4 tracks - 1 of 16 steps, 1 of 8, one of 4, and one of 3? Or do all tracks have to be the same number of steps? I used to have a Quasimidi 309 (I refuse to call it a rave-o-lution) and its sequencer worked that way which allowed for some nice evolving permutations. Thanks! John

I really hope there is plans to include this feature on future OS updates. Also the ability to change the direction a track plays would be nice. Of course you can get round this by using two or more machinedrums. But thats gonna get really pricey if you want anymore than 3 different sequence lengths running at the same time. T.

Yes - Progress from 1st step to last and then back down to first (instead of advancing directly from last step back to first), reverse, random - those sort of things make for some happy accidents. Thanks for the answer Tom. --- In elektron-users@yahoogroups.com, Tom McIvor <tm29@s...> wrote: > I really hope there is plans to include this feature on future OS > updates.

cheaper {and better} still would be a polymorph or e-mu command station
in tandem.

I'm just starting to play around w/ Pure Data (essentially open source
MAX/MSP) so I may try to whip something up there after I get my head
around it.
Got rid of all my synths & drum machines a while back and got back
into guitar and now I find myself w/ a renewed interest in drum machines.
Never played w/ a polymorph but do remember reading some interesting
things about its sequencing capabilities - I'll look into it, thanks.
I know nothing about the Command Stations other than what they look
like - any special sequencer features?
Thanks!
John
PS - FWIW, used to have a SIDStation (but that went out the door
during my search for the holy grail of amplifiers as well).

Ideally we could set a loop step on a track... function+bank+step or something.

Many people asked for this but it would take a complete rewrite of the OS. (please correct me if I'm wrong) What you can do instead is hook on a laptop/pc with ableton live. You can sample loops, move them in time, change pattern lenghts and add effects all on the fly! It's an ideal companion for your groove gear. Ronald.
