In case I didn’t explain that well in the title… I am curious about sequencers that will let me switch the pattern of a single track without affecting any other tracks in the overall pattern. The idea is that I could then mix and match the bass from one song, then lead from another, etc all on the fly.
I know the Squarp can do this, but what else can? Can the Octatrack do it? or another company?
Thanks for your help!
Octatrack can. Set tracks to plays free mode, then you can start/stop tracks individually.
Awesome!! Thanks! 
When you enable plays free for a track, the track gets disconnected from the sequencer.
So when you press play/stop all other tracks start/stop, the ones that have plays free enabled have to be manually triggered/stopped.
You can use the trig buttons or press [Track] + [Play] / [Stop].
There is also quanitization for triggering plays free tracks and different trig modes
I don’t know how it works on the Pyramid, though.
I think they’re saying to change pattern for each track individually though, can the octatrack do that? Would be interesting, I’d like to try the pyramid at some point
Uh, sorry. Misread the question. OT only let you start/stop tracks individually.
Using several midi tracks to control OTs audio tracks as workaround would kinda let you do that (Mute/unmute midi tracks to change to a new “pattern”), but not the same.
Oh right I thought I was sleeping in a feature. Never really touched plays free so I wasn’t sure, should have a go
Toraiz Squid.
Cirklon.
MC-707 ! 
Akai Force
Yamaha rs7000 and rm1x do this.
Also the Megacommand lets you do this on the machinedrum plus 4 additional midi tracks
The Synthstrom Deluge can do this.
Keep’em comin’ !
MC-505 does it but can’t remember the terminology from Roland.
U sure about that ? When I had a 505 back in the late 90’s I remember having parts from previous patterns in the next to assure seamless transitions but I can’t rememeber an option to get one track from another pattern to replace one track in the active track apart from a copy/paste operation which involved getting out of current patt, copy track of the new patt and get back to the previous, paste. A trick I missed ? Old memories for sure I may have forgotten…
Yeah there was a mode where the fader of each track could index the patterns so you could effectively remix the parts from different patterns.
I think it’s probably best left as a memory anyways 
Damn’, that rang a bell somewhere in my memory…Sort of remix mode !..Yes…Never used it actually ! 
Beatstep Pro is another to add to your list.
The famous megamix mode !
The caveat was you were limited to how many patterns away from the original you could stray, about 25-30 in either direction I think. Possibly. Or more. Or less
