Hi guys,

Today I played a bit with my P2K with the idea of creating an
arpeggiated patch, that would "divide" some notes into smaller
rhythmical values. It's typical Tangerine Dream effect and is quite
easy to emulate with software sequencer, however I wanted to get a
patch that would do this.

To explain it a bit: let's say I play C1, G1, Bb1 and D2 notes, I set
arp to 1/16 and "forward assign" and I would like to hear two 1/32 for
D2 (instead of 1/16).

So I thought it would be a nice idea to retrigger the amplitude
envelope - and then I wanted to do this for filter envelope as well. I
thought about doing this from LFO. I ended up using 25% pulse through
FlipFlop sent to AEnvTrig.

Well, what I got is rather kind of MIDI delay - also very TDish
effect. The original problem is still open and I will try to attack it
soon. If you are interested in the SysEx for the current sound, I can
grab it and send it.

But, during those edits I discovered two strange and not very nice things:
 1) Under 2.26 OS I don't seem to have FEnvTrig as a patchcord
dimension - it should be there, at least according to my printed
manual. Is your experience the same?
 2) Try setting a patch with arpeggiator settings like this:
   - status: on
   - mode: anything but random or pattern
   - extension count: 1
   - extension interval: 12

Now when you play a single note, you should hear it jumping in one
octave interval. Save the patch. Change it to the next/previous one
and go back. Play a single note. Apparently extension interval got
reset. Get into the edit mode and check the settings: 12. Adjust it to
13 and back to 12. Now it works.

And I used to say that I prefer the hardware synths, because the soft
ones are buggy...

Cheers, Bruno
