Hi,
I´ve been messing around with the arranger ´cause I´d like to create a biiiiiiig pattern to improvise and record MIDI notes on it.
What I´d like to do is to have the longest MIDI timeline possible to jam on, or to play something live over an existing song and “steal” maybe it´s harmony, structure or whatever.
Imagine an Ableton´s arrangement view. The loop would be the whole reference song (or mayble my own bassline, chord progression, etc. but long enough to avoid “MIDI overdubbing”). Then I´d try to simplify everything and reduce to the least and shortest patterns possible.
If I chain or arrange all needed patterns to last, let´s say, a 5 minutes song at 120bpm, I´d need more than 2 banks of 64-step patterns.
How would you face this to make it usable?
