I recently re-acquired an A4, but have been out of the Elektron world for a couple of years, and am getting reacquainted with the work flow.
I made a rhythmic 303-type of pattern, using P-locks on the filter on some of the trigs. Now, what I would like to do is to record a filter sweep across the length of the pattern. Is there a way of doing this so that the P-locked trigs will follow the sweep but retain their relative freq-positions compared to the rest of the pattern?
To put it another way. Say (to keep things simple) I have a pattern consisting of 4 notes, where 1,2 and 3, have a freq value of 100, but 4 is p-locked to 110. If I then record a sweep from 100 to, say, 115, I would like note 4 to also increase and not remain “stuck” at 110, if that makes any sense. I can’t really see how this would be possible, but if there is a way, it would be really cool.
I think programming it as a performance macro should do the trick
Im not sure what the envelope to filter amount is doing in your current patch but i often use that for what you speak of. I dont have the cutt off set anywhere near 100 though. Its something i started doing when i got a volca bass and you cant controll the filter cutt with midi.
So i have the cutt off set low and add a few variances with plocks. Then use an envelope to filter amount for the overall or relative cuttoff if that makes sense?
Im sure its clunky though, and there is probably a better way.
What about an lfo?
Aha! Thanks. (I don’t usually have cut off set at 100, I just used that as an example) 
I usually use bipolar performance macros so I can always go back to the original parameter that’s on saved with the kit by turning the knob to 0.
AFAIK performance macros don’t override p-locks (like scene locks do on the Octatrack), but you can open for example the filter so much with a perf macro that the p-locks don’t have any effect on the parameter anymore.
So for example you have filter cutoff on that track at 80 and you have some p-locks at 60, 90 and 98. As long as your macro doesn’t go above 98 or under 60, you still hear p-locks, if you go out this range, though, p-locks don’t do anything anymore.
Same with an lfo, as long as the lfo depth doesn’t go beyond the range of p-locks and the parameter you have set for that parameter, you still have the p-locks working.
Makes sense? Provaply not…^^
Makes sense.
