Just coming back to this. Although looped sections are not saved with the pattern, they seem to be saved in ram, and are 'transferable' between patterns. i.e. while you have a loop running, you can set the loop points once, switch patterns, and just re-activate loop. The pattern will start at zero, but then will loop at the same points specified in the previous pattern. So you could come close to what you want with a series of directly-accessible patterns, fills on bar 1 and loop the remainder (maybe a fill at the end), switching between them to trigger fills and back into a loop. It takes a little bit of setting-up and practice though. I've just been switching between 3 drum patterns and getting plenty of control by playing with the loops points and punching into new patterns using the RTZ shift key (another nice feature of OS2) Cheers, J --- In xl7@yahoogroups.com, Atom Smasher <atom@...> wrote: > > On Sat, 5 Feb 2011, Atom Smasher wrote: > > > now that i'm thinking about it... i guess an alternative way to do this > > might be the "loop section"... using the example above, patterns 2 & 3 > > are combined into a single pattern; the first part of the pattern has > > the fill, then the 2nd part of the pattern loops. hhmmm.... can the > > "loop section" settings be saved with a pattern? if so, will a section > > of the pattern before the loop-start play before it starts looping the > > section? even if the loop-section has to be enabled manually (assuming > > the start/stop settings are saved) this could still conserve pattern > > memory... if it works... > ================== > > aacckk!!! as i suspected...
