Neighbor trigs

Sorry admin was double checking about what I was going to ask about…

The isnt a great deal of information about neighbor trigs and I’m trying to use them more

NEI is true if the most recently evaluated trig condition on the neighbor track was true. (PRE and PRE conditions on the neighbor track are ignored and not evaluated.) The neighbor track is the track before the active track. For example, track 3 is the neighbor track of track 4. NEI and NEI conditional trigs on track 4 evaluate the conditional trigs placed on track 3. The NEI condition is false if no condi- tional trigs exist on the neighbor track.

can the neighbor trig be on the same step or does it have to be after to evaluate the trig on the other track…? I’m trying things on the Octatrack sometimes it works Sometimes not? anyone got any advice?..

Also sometimes neighbor with the line doesn’t do anything and stop the sound playing? It works ok trying the exact same thing on the A4 and Rytm mk2s… now I’ve tried again and is working… very strange

Wear a mask during lockdown when meeting neighbors. :mask:

It worked well for me a few weeks ago.
Did you use particular trig settings? I’m not sure if microtiming is considered.
Checking…
Microtiming doesn’t seem to change behavior, nor swing.
I used /FILL on the neighbor track, and /NEI on the track below, inverted their behaviors. Works as it should.

Be aware of different track scales and/or different tempo multipliers. Conditions are evaluated at each step just-in-time. So when two tracks are not set up in the same way you get some kind of polyrhythmic conditions.

Thanks for checking, it was definitely having problems on mine though then suddenly started working with same settings without changing anything… basic settings.
I will try again hopefully was just a glitch or something…

That’s what I want to try do create some interesting patterns with trak 1 on 16/16
And second pattern 24/32 so swap different trigs not always the same one!
