DN2 bouncing sound locks to track

Hey guys

In effort to improve my drumming I’ve been dabbling in the soundlock trig mode but it kinda creates more issues than it solves. I end up with a nice beat but invariably I want to tweak stuff and then have to do it all via Plocks.

Is there a way to bounce a plock directly to a track sound? Or do we first have to save it as a sound/preset then import it to a new track? Then you just copy paste that sound’s trigs to the new track ?

After all this faff I think I can acheive the ‘playability’ just using regular trig mode to play a beat into separate tracks.

yes hold the plock trig and press the preset button, it will prompt you to save the plock as a preset you could load on any track

DN2 only.
I’ll add you can assign the preset to Preset Pool with the right menu.

Right cool! So then you have a new track with that plock sourced preset … but no trigs. So then if you copy paste the trigs from the track you made all the plocks on (via preset trig setting) you end up with a track sound but again a bunch of plocked trigs. Is there a way to just copy the trig info and end up with the right trig info + the track sound in the new track? Otherwise I think recording in beats from track mode into different tracks is the way to go.

No, but you can hold each rec trig and press play(clear) to remove all p-locks. This works when pressing more than one trig, so doesnt take too long to clear the locks.

I agree that a quick way to ‘bounce’ a trig’s p-locks to unlocked trig could be a handy feature, but it could only work on a single trig per track (what would happen when bouncing mulitple-pressed p-locked trigs. each with different settings? which would be the ‘master’?)

yeah I suppose for my purposes best to stick to track recording. perhaps preset trigs can be useful for demoing stuff then assign it to a track , to avoid all this resultant faff :slight_smile:
