Right, but that’s assuming you’re using the same sounds for every track in all 128 patterns. The copy/paste kits thing is good if you’re using the exact same kit in every pattern, too. Otherwise, you still have to do things individually. Also, IIRC, when you copy/paste/load sounds, the mixer volumes and trig page settings don’t always copy over correctly, which can cause other issues. None of those ideas/solutions allow for tweaking live across chained patterns, though, which is a big part of this.
My whole point is that this feature would allow you to lock/sync individual tracks across multiple patterns, either per bank or per project, to speed up workflow and allow for chained patterns that are being tweaked live to carry over to the next pattern.
Trust me when I say that I have spent the last 1.5 years working on streamlining and organizing this live set, and I’ve explored a multitude of ways to address this. That’s how the idea I proposed in the original post came to light. I realize not everyone wants full on kits, and I’m sure there are many people who are not interested, but we’ve also seen interest in the feature request thread, and I think my idea would satisfy both types of users.
@PekeDorty I definitely had that user experience when I started, then I learned my gear and realized how invaluable it is to have linked patterns/tracks. TBH, I wish all the Elektron machines would implement it in the way I suggest. That would allow every machine to be even more flexible for full song composition and arrangement.
