Re: going insane ..presets changing on patterns

2003-05-22 by honkeyhindu

What knob settings are you changing?
controller assigment 
k1    assigned to 74 for ch 2
k2    assigned to 71 for ch 4

the for pattern two 

say k1 assigned to control 1  ch 4 
whatever you get the idea ..

after i set the controller assigment i play the pattern then i save 
the pattern and then i save the muti and then name it and then save 
it to that name ..

i do this for the two patterns ..
again in oder for the pattern and controller vaules to be right. 
these are the steps that i have to take ..
go to multi ..select the multi ..then revert the pattern 
..when i switch the pattern i ahve to do the same for that pattern as 
well ....HOW DO I DO THIS LIVE ..i cant stop the show and start it up 
again ..thanks again
