i hear that but if you pair it with something that has nicer clock and can issue a command at a certain time (mpc with jjos, elektron monomachine or whatever you have) the pattern changes happen right on time and in fact the cc event can be quantized. you could really throw a listener for a loop and bring it right back whenever you wanted using this method. i bet it would work from a daw too.
nope. beyond that thru box theres midi patchbays like the motu midi time peice AV. but you will need to study up on stuff n things
and finally the happiest ive ever been!
at that point couldnt any midi controller act as a remote for zaquencer? i thought the idea here was to implement as many cc > parameters as possible.
meaning they dont save as often? and zaquencer would need to save if changes or not when loading the next pattern? is there no way to ask if the pattern has changed and only then write?
how are tr-909s and the like from the 80s able to survive? they dont use flash memory?
i think its been discussed and i dont remember the outcome but im sure there was a good reason for the limitation. you could ask it in that forum and zaq– erm, Christian will usually give a very eloquent answer.
its a four track machine. it has an ungodly number of patterns all with 4 tracks up to 32 steps each, all track step lengths are independent from each other. you can set any/all tracks to any midi target, and recall most patterns with a midi cc or by the front panel buttons. each track has a variety of sequencer / midi related lanes.
i dont use the drum function yet but any or all tracks can be set to a percussion map that you set up that allows some special things like triggering more than one midi note at a time etc. advantages include muting each drum instrument independently. drawbacks are the single velocity per step covering all played instruments on that step.
there is also a chord function that i havent used much yet.
the rest has been great to use with basslines and drum loop manipulation… better than anything else hardware for both of those in fact, in my opinion. of course it all boils down to how you like to work. i develop a sequence over time with tweaks here and there that is near impossible to do on most other hardware without spending an assload of money. this is an inexpensive tactile way to touch your midi sequence and build loads of detail in your patterns. despite its few minor flaws, i would say its the best value i have ever seen for what it offers. i give it 5 stars.
obvious drawbacks are the hardware build quality of the behringer base product. at some point, youll be looking to replace a button on a PCB that is surface mounted. not easy or cheap but at least you can upgrade the component. i dont think its too long until everyone will need to do that. encoders too. i try to be careful with mine.
Live editing is possible. If you chain more than one pattern you’d better save your edits before the next pattern hits because all will be reset to the saved state when the next pattern is loaded into the edit buffer. Bummer. Wish we could set it to automatically update the saved pattern. Oh well. It’s not impossible.
One pattern or row per track, with alternate views for all the lanes for example note or velocity. Navigate to one of four tracks with independent midi out settings
Get one. It’s like a multidimensional etch a sketch for your ears. Just don’t expect a robust hardware!!!
yep yep and yep
Also it´s open source, so if anyone is interested
brilliant! calling all coders…
simply amazing update. zaq we knew you could do it!
preset manager? wow even bells and whistles! maybe turn it into a kick ass computer sequencer?
with a name like mike303 you should be telling us how its done!
kick arse mate. im impatient sometimes. looking forward to it!
buy a midi patchbay! theyre cheap and plentiful…
brilliant logic! this is already possible via hardware loop-back. i think what we really need is independent patterns for each track to make this all it could be.
