Random small tips and tricks

Here’s a topic for small tips and tricks you’ve discovered that don’t necessarily need their own topic.

Here’s my handy little pattern-saving tip:

We all know that you can use different sounds for different steps, right? The problem is, that if you want only one of them to be audible at some point, you have to use 2 different patterns, one with both of them audible and one pattern with only one of them audible.

Here’s the trick: P-lock the volume of the steps you want to be audible all the time, then you can use the knob to control the volume of the rest of the sounds and can, for example, mute them by turning the volume to zero.

This is EXTREMELY useful for at least me, as I hate switching patterns mid-song.

Kinda obvious, but I felt quite smart when I figured that one out!

Please share your small tips and tricks!

Step mutes can also be used for this, but not for fading in/out.

A copy from e-u just for easy and organised reference

Some may have already found these, but they might trigger some new ideas:

4 note poly (or less if set differently) using qunexus

If you have a qunexus, you can set “rotate” on and choose how many midi channels it will rotate through for each new note. If you choose four, you get all four tracks of A4. If less, you get some left to sequence too. Set the correct midi channels, copy the same sounds to the A4 tracks you choose for poly and you are set to go. Performance mode macros can be made for controlling all voices at once.

Drone chords using performance mode parameter macros.

Set 4 tracks to the same note or notes that make a chord. Then set a (or more) parameter macro that controls the main pitch of the oscillators to as many levels you want to ‘transpose’ the notes of each track. Start the droning tracks and turn the parameter macro knob all the way from 0 slowly to 127. That will detune your droning sounds from one chord to another.

One I just discovered yesterday was double pressing a Track button on the right opens the sound browser directly. Nice.

hold FUNKTION and turn (almost) every knob to make the values jump 0 100 and 127
