Ok so it’s about 4 songs I annihilated and can’t get back thanks to my brick brain that just can’t wrap around how saving works on my MnM+ and I can’t keep doing that so I’ll finally try to understand what’s going on.
I get that patterns are automatically saved and kits are not.
A kit is a sum of all 6 track settings as a whole, can’t save one sound as a preset or something
Songs just have metadatas for which patterns are coming in what order, and not the actual contents like sounds and trig locks and what not
Snapshots are like saving the state of the machine as a whole including patterns, songs, digiwaves, etc.
I get it
or at least I think i get it to be such
but I don’t get how patterns and kits are linked together
like when I start a new snapshot, make the first kit using 6 tracks and make a decent pattern out of them on, say, A1 pattern slot, then save it, it doesn’t seem like the pattern data is stored with the kit.
Like if I start working on a new kit on kit#2, and turns out I’m not really going anywhere with it, I will try to load the first kit, hoping it has the pattern saved with it, but when I load it, the pattern data is for some reason gone…?
I thought each pattern, A1, A2, …A16, B1, B2,… all the way to H16 are tied together with the kits(sounds)? Is it not that way??
I’m so confused
What exactly is saved when I save a kit
and what’s loaded when I load a kit?
sometimes the kit comes with a pattern
and sometimes it’s just the sounds
I usually just try to work with 6 tracks (1kit) for making a whole song out of them using different sequences for different patterns
but I can’t figure out how I should go about saving them so that I can retain both the sounds and sequences when I wanna load them up again after working on something different .
