Re: Recording multichannel arps from triggers

2004-08-10 by steve_the_composer

It would seem that the only thing you need to do differently is to 
use Multi-A [CHANNEL ASSIGN] when you record the track with the multi-
channelled arp triggers [with rechannelize always on].

Thanks for raising the issue.  It ties in with a performance modality 
I have been developing.  In fact, I learned today that I can have the 
following live setup (for example):

Triggers 1 -> 3 start/stop beats groups 1 -> 3
Trigger 4 start group 4 [unlatched]
Trigger 7 mute/unmute all active beats
Trigger 8 stop all beats
Triggers 9 -> 12 internal arps, bpm, and other sounds
Triggers 13 -> 16 external arps, bpm, and other sounds

and still switch back to my track mutes for pattern looping!

Thanks for the reminders on rechannelize and track recording, Aaron.
