“to have a note play every time EXCEPT the first loop”
“A trig with this trig condition is always active apart from the first time the
pattern plays (when looped)”
these are the same
for loops besides 1st, you would need to sacrifice a trig before your intended note. set the earlier trig to 2:2 or 3:3 or 4:4 and plock only its volume to zero. the next “note trig” should be set to NOT-PRE (line-PRE)
edit: actually, I think I understand you now. sorry for the first half of my post. if you want it to skip “every first out of x loops” rather than just skip only the very first time the sequencer loops, you’ll want to do what I described in the previous paragraph, but choose 1:x (1:2 or 1:3 or 1:4, etc) for the first silent trig.
