I’d love them to take cues (cues?) from the Norand Mono sequencer.
select musical scale.
random note generation (adds 3 or 4 notes).
shuffle said notes around within the scale like a coin toss.
add more random notes to said pattern.
shuffle selected pages of notes.
repeat.
then fine edit yerself.
it’s a joy to use for coming up with new motifs n ideas.
Snapping values don’t work when holding a trig like they do on the Octatrack.
Actually nothing to be scared… just play fast sequence with 16s, then stop for a while on 1/2 step, then a few 8s step and again 16s… why not… all play in sync…
First post on here after being a long time lurker. Had the DT, DN and OT for few years and recently been running up against a few things that made me think of this thread:
Expand on the NEI conditions
I love using cascades of NEI conditions to create generative sequences where the tracks interact with each other. But it takes a lot of planning to get the sequencer tracks that you want to use the NEI conditions on are actually neighbouring each other.
Would save me a lot of time if the Elektron sequencer had TRACK1, TRACK2 […] TRACK8 conditions, where you could assign any track on the device to be a condition trigger for any other track.
Add MIDI note information to conditional triggers
Layering sounds is fun! And pretty common in electronic music! I’d love it if you could set the NEI conditions of a track to follow the note value of the source track. It would make layering melodic percussion so much more fun and fluid, and combined with the TRACK conditions I suggested before would really open things up for generative melodic composition.
Would be good for sure, but seeing how Elektron and actually most of hardware manufactures orient more and more into “toy market”… I have doubts if this will be implemented.
However, a lot of software options to experiment with “same” things.
well done with the DIGI song mode update…But hey , what’s next ?
Le me tell you , a long time waiting for me .
The only thing actually i like more with my modular is the sequencers , i can play forward , backward and random. i can also do euclidean sequencing.
Why not with the Elektrons ? these are beautiful and fantastics machines, so please take them to the ultimate level !
Cheers
I’ve just been thinking of how inputting numeric conditions could be improved, as it does my head in scrolling through 1:2 to 8:8 (regular and NOT values - 68 of them in total!) to find the value required.
In Grid Rec, we currently hold the step and turn dial H to scroll through the list, but maybe using the step numbers to input them directly could be much faster:
Idea
In Grid Rec/TRIG page view, hold a step trig, press H encoder:
Instead of adding the default ‘PRE’ p-lock, COND would instead flash ‘X:X’, at which point you’d let go of the trig, and trigs 1-8 become temp quick-input buttons (lit white?) to pick the numbers for X:X, and trig 9 becomes the NOT toggle (toggles between green and red for play/NOT play). After inputting the first X, trig 1 dulls to show that it’s not available, as 1:1 is not possible (1:2 is the lowest), leaving 2-8 lit.
So if you wanted _2:4, you’d press trigs 2 > 4 > 9. The inputted numbers appear in the still-flashing COND p-lock (X:X) and pressing H encoder confirms/adds the p-lock, exiting the quick-input mode back to Grid Rec.
It could be quick i think…
Love this. It would take things much closer to the OP-XY sequencer, which is way faster for X/Y stuff
I’ve not used a TE seq, curious how they differ - will watch a vid or 2 cheers
Humanisation et du Groove !!
Subtle random lfo on sample start / amp envelope ? ( if it’s available )
