Hi, don’t get me wrong, and sorry for the english, I loooove my tracker. In fact, I have 2 trackers but there are at the moment three questions that I want to do:
Why PT doesn’t have midi program change in? All of my other synts have it, hydra, Typhon, megafm, digitone, etc…
Timestreach beat never has worked to me with loops. Everytime I use it I finish with weird and strange loops, like distorted, I don’t know… Can somebody tell me how to do it right?
Why the patterns 49 to 98 didnt have lights like 1 to 48… Sometimes I want to store patterns that I don’t use in the second page on the patterns and is a mess because there is no light in the buttons like the first 48.
Thank you very much and long live to tracker. It’s the best
Hi @ameliagagarin,
Regarding the question 1: prog change is on CC 128! It is showed on page 47/48 of the manual (v1.6).
For beat stretching, I think it’s always a trial and experiement for me, you can use pitch & finetune to adjust and enable/disable antialiasing until it sounds the way you want.
The Tracker can only show you the lights for the first 48 Patterns and since they are not colored LEDs, there is no UI Pattern that would make sense to display more afterwards.
Unless you have an idea how they could make patterns beyond 48 easily accessible on the pads via some Shortcut-combo.
I don’t understand very well your answer, sorry, my English is so basic… But for example you could watch the pattern number in the screen and know that you are in the 2nd, 3rd or 4th page of patterns and you could watch which patterns are filled with notes with the lights of the pads…
When I make a lot of variations in the 1 to 48 pattern there are sometimes some patterns that I want to preserve but I don’t want it in the main 48 pads but I don’t want to delete in case that will be useful in a future, so I send that patterns to 49/96… In that page there are no lights and I don’t know which patterns are filled with notes… Sorry for the english and thanks for your answer.
Hi, thanks. I wish it happens… For me, there wouldn’t be a shortcut to make that. If you are in pattern 55 and you press the pattern button bellow the number of pattern in the screen, you would be in the second page of patterns… And if you are working in pattern 240 and press that pattern button you’d be in page 4 of patterns. At least for me this approach makes sense.
The track seems to be aware when you are above pattern 48 as the pads no longer show any lights at all. I would think that bit of the UI just needs to be updated to :
if pattern button is held:
if pattern = 1 to 48 update pad lights display which patterns are not empty (current behavior)
if pattern 49 to 96, update lights to display if patterns 49 to 96 are empty
etc.
It must already have this logic because 1-48 do work. I think it just need a check to see if current pattern is above 48 and update the pad illumination
.
