I was wondering if anyone knew what the defined behavior is for setting a track to trigger another’s arp and setting that track to trigger the first… putting them in feedback with each others.
for example:
set track one’s arp to add and set it to trigger track 2, set track two’s arp to add (maybe with different active steps) then set it to trigger track one.
I spent some time working with this set up but i couldn’t see the effects of the feedback.
Hmm, what is the desired effect of this? I’d say there’s probably a ‘safety mechanism’ in place that doesn’t allow you to pass a trigger back to the original track.
What if you add a third track though? So:
TRACK 1
TRIG POS: TRACK 2
TRACK 2
TRIG POS: TRACK 3
TRACK 3
TRIG POS: TRACK 1
?
Still, I’m not quite sure what this would sound like… probably disastrous, haha
hhaha yeah it can get pretty cacophonous with three triggering each other but with varied arp rhythms and the scale transpose varied and set to a major or minor scale you can make canon like structures.
By setting up a feedback loop I was hoping to add continuously add new notes to the “canon” and make a generative sort of patch.
shame about the feedback protection… it makes sense why it would be there but i want to break the rules in this case
I admit it would be fun to play with if it could be controlled. I’m guessing it would crash the MnM though, considering it’d eventually overload!
Strangely enough, I haven’t attempted anything generative yet; usually that’s the first thing I try with any new sequencer. Maybe I’ll give it a shot tonight.
