Individual track lengths Digitone

I would like to have track 1 with length 48.
Track 2-4 with length 64.

I can adjust that with [Scale] and then [Fn + Yes].
But, what happens then is that track 1 first runs the 48 trigs, then it runs trigs 1-16, the it restarts and runs 1-48. It will thus run as follows: trigs 1-48, 1-16, 1-48, 1-16, and so on.

Track 2-4 will run 1-64 all the time.

I would love to have the following.

Track 1: Loop 1-48 continuously, thus running 1-48, 1-48, 1-48, and so on.
Tracks 2-4: Loop 1-64 continuously.

Is that possible to solve?

Best wishes,

Lars

only way to make that work is if you could have different master lengths, ant that is unfortunately not possible.

Sure it’s possible. 3 x 64 = 192 / 48 = 4. So set master length to 192 track 1 will play 4 time before looping and track 2 will play 3 times before looping.

Or set master to INF…

Many thanks all! Much appreciated!

This is the way, unless you enjoy maths.

Yes, thanks.

But I realised that if I set master length to Infinity, I cannot get pattern 2 to start after pattern 1 (which has master length set to Infinity) once the last step of pattern 1 has played. The A01/A02 keeps flashing in the upper left corner of the screen.
So it seems there is no really good solution to my problem.

Cheers, Lars

Never give up until its unanimous on the forum that there’s no solution… :slight_smile:

Maybe make a feature request for manual pattern changes?

Otherwise, You should simply decide how long you want the overall pattern should be and change it if you don’t like it. :slight_smile:

we definitely need a pinned thread for this!
