Command Station; some couple of questions regarding this deep beauty !

Command Station; some couple of questions regarding this deep beauty !

2014-08-16 by treatment6a@...

Hello all . 

Just discovering that such a group exists for Command Stations, great ! 
I would like to warm welcome everyone, and i think this is the right place to write some of questions in my head which for me really important to discover on Command station as a new user of it. 
My first question is regarding arpeggiators.
I tried everything, but couldn’t get succeed how to shuffle (swing) a arpeggiator. (Preset or user defined) 
I can only reach swing settings in Song options, but using it doesn’t help, because i simply hear no shuffles when i play an arpeggiator with my midi keyboard attached to Command Station. 
First of all i have to mention that, i am using the Command Station as a sound module, and playing the presets on different midi channels with my external sequencer. 
So in this case, i was wondering if arpeggiators are not shuffling due to i am not recording to the sequencer of Command Station ? 
Second question, what is the best way to modulate the parameters of a preset or a groove played by arpeggiator ? 
Is there a way to assign knobs for custom modulation sources ? and if it is working while you are in program section ? 
I have a feeling that all my questions will be solved maybe once i start to use own sequencer of Command Station rather than external sequencer. 
Well the external sequencer i use, called Sequentix Cirklon, has incredible amount of features, i believe far more than what Command Station has , but still this way of usage didn’t bring me swing to beats of the command station. 
I will be happy if someone can assist me on those things really. 
Thanks in advance, and once again, super great to find such community.

I can't find a swing setting in global or preset, what do you mean? AFAIK swing needs to be implemented in pattern quantize. AFAIK there is no arpeggiator swing.

Hey 


thanks for the reply ! 

lets say you have a preset and a selection of a arp pattern . 

i want this arp pattern to swing . 

it is not swinging when i change the swing amount in global or preset , so thats why i needed to know how to swing those arp patterns . 

thanks
