There are 64 steps max per track. These steps can last longer with Scale multiplier.
(Scale multiplier is unfortunately not applied to rec trigs)
The pattern can last longer with its master length (up to 1024 steps, INF). I think that’s what @Microtribe meant.
Yeah, if you don´t need the resolution, i.e. many 16th notes or even 1/32th, you can set the scale multiplier to a lower numer. Remember to set master length accordingly (If you hold function and press up/down arrow you can increase/decrease the master length in increments of 16. Much faster that way). For example, 1/2 lets a track run at half the tempo effectively reducing each trig to 1/8th. If you wanted to place two 16th notes after each other, you could place two trigs next to each other and pull the second one back with microtiming. You can also use the retrigger functionality (Step Count in the microtiming menu gives you up to 12x retrigger and it also retriggers the filter envelope, RTRG gives you more options, but does not retrigger the filter env).
For midi trigs there´s the arpeggiator.
Trig conditions are another way to achieve what can sound like a longer track length. Again, you can utilize microtiming to pull two trigs next to each other, give one trig the 1:2 condition and the other trig the 2:2 condition. Now the track will alternate between those two trigs. If you do that on a 1 bar track, it will basically sound like 2 bars…They won´t sit exactly at the same step, but close enough that it will work for most material.
Just depends how much resolution you need and if you can use other methods to achieve what you want, besides using just plain sample/midi trigs.
