Changing midi notes without changing other patterns

Hello everyone!

This is my first post. So noob alert :grimacing:

I have a finished midi sequence in pattern 1 of bank 1. If I now create a new midi sequence in pattern 2 of bank 1, this somehow affects the midi notes in pattern 1.
In pattern 1, I am using two notes/trig and in pattern 2, I want to have 3 notes/trig. But when I do this, suddenly pattern 1 also has 3 notes/trig.

Thanks for your help!

The relevant terms to search in the manual/this forum are “parts” and “parameter locking”.

All parameters for a track (Midi or audio) are not pattern dependent, rather they live in a part. Any change you do to a parameter (including the note page on Midi) tracks will change across all patterns using the same part.

A way around this is to parameter lock or plock a note. You do this by holding down a trigger in grid recording mode and then change the parameter. The parameter is only changed for that trigger.

There is a hierarchy of how parameter locks take precedence which I think goes like this, from least priority to most: track parameter < plock < scene lock < lfo

Good luck on your OT journey :cowboy_hat_face: I’m still a novice myself and may need to be corrected on the above

Thanks a lot! That definitely cleared some confusion!

In this case, your patterns need to be linked to the same part.

Imagine a line just above the trig buttons. Everything below that line ( trigs, trig conditions, microtiming, p locks etc) is saved as pattern.

Everything above that line ( every parameter for every track page, scenes etc) is saved as part.
