md - variable track length?

md - variable track length?

2004-09-18 by logansquarewave

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.

have you tried changing the scale setup (function + scale setup) ?

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!!! Take care regards Paul

no, each track has the same length.  yes, it would be cool if they were of
different length. but I think the main reason for "why not?" would be that
I don't believe that either machine was designed that way. thus working it
into the interface would prove to be less than ideal - and we all know
that Elektron values the ease-of-use and immediacy of their interfaces. 
so that would be my guess....

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)
