Set the length of a note

Is it possible to set the lenght of a note ? For example, in a 16 steps pattern (signature 4/4), i want a note on the first step which lasts 3 times (so, we hear the sound from the step 1 to the step 12) = a dotted minim. How can we do that ? Thank you for your help !

Yes, just adjust decay/hold for mnm machines and/or length for midi tracks.

Thank you; I’ve tried with decay / hold and I don’t find it easy to get perfect length. For the midi tracks, there is a parameter “length”. I think it would have been usefull to find it for mnm machines tracks…

decay/hold is indeed one way (for envelope-related reasons explained in the manual iirc), but you can also put a trigless trig on step 12 with vol = 0.

An often overlooked fact is that the MM has a note off trigger too!

  • Press a [TRIG] key to add a note trig. A note trig is indicated by a red LED. Pressing the same [TRIG] key once more removes the note trig.

  • To change the pitch of a note, press and hold the [TRIG] key. You will see a mini key- board pop up in the lower left corner of the screen. Either input the new note on the key- board or use the [ARROW] keys to select the new note. When done release the [TRIG] key.

  • To enter a note off trig, press a [TRIG] key while holding the [FUNCTION] key. A Note Off is indicated by a yellow LED. To remove a note off the same [TRIG] key must be pressed twice.

Ok, it works with trigless. I have to set the “hold” parameter to a high value, and whith the trigless, I can program a note off where I want. Thank you for your help :wink:
