is there any way to set the length of each instrument track on the MD to a different length? seems there's only a global length adjustment but i thought maybe i'm missing something. and if there is none... why not? that would add an incredible amount of flexibility to the MD.. or the MnM even. -logan

have you tried changing the scale setup (function + scale setup) ? Il giorno 18/set/04, alle 19:16, logansquarewave ha scritto:

Hi I just joined the forum today because I ordered my machinedrum yesterday so I am not yet a MD user but will be by next week. Is it cool? are the sounds good or at least flexiable for tweaking ive heard nothing but positive reviews so far on this unit Ill let you know when I get mine if I can figure out what your wanting to know Im fairly savvy with drum machines but we will see each one is a totally different animal!!!

Also - if at the end of the playing pattern another pattern is selected then where should it change as each track will have different end-points.

probably after the end of the longest pattern. i believe the kawai sq-80 works like that (it has the capability of having each track be a different length)
