Sequencer variations within tracks

So I have been using the OT for a little while and liking it…

So I have some beats on 1-2 tracks within a lot of my songs, I try to keep them with as few patterns as possible, and would rather variate through the mixer/mutes and scenes.

So my issue is with the drum tracks. I have a basic beat BD/SD on a 4 bar track and would like to add occasional fills at the end of the 4th bar. I could move out to separate patterns but this causes a lot of duplication on the other tracks as well.

How do you manage drum variations in your projects?

Is there any way to variate the trigs/pages directly within the track?

Check out one-shot trigs. You can use them to create fills that you trigger as needed.

yeah, thats is why legato switch mode between patterns is needed!
