Using riffs in Patterns.

Using riffs in Patterns.

2009-02-25 by slipknotfkr

Hello All,

Newbie here... Just got an MP-7 off Ebay I haven't had a whole lot of
time to play with this baby and I'm itching to show my ignorance. My
question is. Is there a way that I can record the riffs into a
pattern? Or are they just designed to be used in live situations. 

Thanks in advance,

Dave

Set unit to transmit riffs.
Turn TRANSMIT MIDI CLOCK off 
(so you don't feedback midi clock data).
Run midi out to midi in.
Record riff into pattern.

I think this is described in one of the FAQs (see files).

from FAQ v102:

Recording Arp and RIFF Patterns to a Track

Connect a midi cable from the midi out to the midi on of the MP-7, and 
make sure MIDI Thru is off. You may need to manually erase 
the 'trigger' note, as well as shift the start times of the arp notes 
too if they are delayed slightly. Very easy to do with OS 2.0 BTW.
