Hello world (i’m new around here)
Hope it’s the right place to ask questions, as it’s not related to one particular model of Elektron.
Here is my problem:
-
I’m currently using a Korg EMX, which has a maximum pattern length of 8 bars (128 steps)
-
I want to upgrade to some Elektron gear (probably A4 or monomachine), but they’re only doing 4-bars patterns
-
I need longer patterns, or a way to compose in realtime on a longer base (8 bars is ok)
So, is there a workaround on elektron stuff that 'd allow me to compose longer loops than 4-bars? & in realtime?
Note: I can imagine tricks that would probably NOT work for me:
-
working at half tempo: wouldn’t work because i guess it halves resolution. And also because of sync issues.
-
making “songs” or whatever kind of pattern-linking: afaik, you can’t compose this way in realtime. But i might be wrong…
Thank you!
