One trig p-lock affecting multiple steps?

Hi,

Is it possible on Digitone 2 (without using LFO) to have one trig with a parameter lock (e.g. LEVEL)that affects several step trigs (for example the first 16 steps of a pattern), ideally only on the first loop ?

With a 128-step pattern, any p-lock tied to trigs retriggers every time the pattern loops, so fades or level changes always restart.

I’m wondering if there’s any trick with trig conditions or pattern settings to make a p-lock persist across multiple steps or only the first iteration.

Thanks!

Look at trig conditions. You can make things happen only on the first loop.

I see, thanks.
But what I’m really looking for is a way to have one p-lock affect multiple step trigs (e.g. the first 16 steps). Trig conditions still work per trig, so they don’t seem to solve that.

Thanks!

I’ve never tried this but I think it should be achievable with track layering.
You would have to dedicate the whole track to p-locks, though.
So, in such setup, Track 1 contains your original note trigs, and the layered Track 2 contains only lock trigs. And you would have to set trig condition for the whole track to only trigger on the first loop.
Might be I am telling some bs. At the moment, I don’t have a DN2 around to try it…

Are you talking about the PRE trig condition? ("PRE is true if the most recently evaluated trig condition on the same track was true. ")

So, for example if your first trig has the 1ST trig condition (meaning it only plays the first time the pattern is triggered), you can set the following 15 to have the PRE trig condition.

Would this achieve what you’re looking to do?

There’s no way to do that. Trigs are designed to only affect their individual steps.

Hi ,
i try this i thinks it’s good idea.
tranks !

Hi, i try this too night.
i thinks if it’s works it’s a best way to do this.
Thanks a lot !!

Is the sound you want to do this with melodic to where each step plays something different, or is it rhythmic like a hi hat or a snare or something where the same sound repeats at equal intervals?

it’s melodic sound but with @vit41iq technic it’s work great i use layering to assign on the neighbourg track my level automation or something and i can use trig condition to start at the repeat of loop , it’s perferct !!

I think is not possible because in developers’ mind this is an easy use case where you can copy the pattern and reset the p-locks.

I was thinking you can use arpeggiator on one track where the arp runs at the interval / rate that you’ve selected and will run until it encounters another trig. Might be possible to P lock that trig and have the desired results with a single track, but it sounds like you got it worked out in a way that’s acceptable for your use case, so good.
