@majonymus – perhaps this could be an addition to the waveshape section if the code works -( yeesh I do go on don’t I
) to control mutes.@kieran – and inversions!!
I’ve written a cunning way of including offsets were Christian to implement step copy – momentary copy/pastes offset in a direction.Another way is to have a muted section of each track. 1-8 for example. Set seq length to 8 and run the muted section until you want to press ‘play’.
Then switch the seq start from the muted section to the unmuted section and expand the seq length as required.A bit like chopping each track into parts and using seq start to switch between them.
Nope, your suggestion was good enough for me.
I just to find a way of disabling it for my purposes and when I do – share it with those that need it too.Why would a drum machine respond to note off anyway!? Should be triggers only.
Bah drumbug!Controlled via Zaq drum track? how do you prevent the zaq choking the sample you’re using then?
Hohum…
One answer to the contrary is enough for me to retract and back off – but I’m interested to know how others manage things.Can’t imagine! stupid auto-correct function. A similar feature on the zaq would also not get my vote!
(Unless it was really good… and could be turned off)
I would +1 a button modifier to enable coarse value modification. maybe an octave at a time.
Difficult to implement alongside the ‘change all values at once’ button hold.Eg. Press notepitch to enter note value. press notepitch and seq offset to enter coarse value change. Keep notepitch held down to change all notes at once.
Seq offset is suggested because I can imagine anyone wanting to change its value more than one at a time and its in the middle of the zaq.
@kieran – aren’t ratchets choked by a new note? If you add a step at the end of your ratchet (maybe add some negative delay on that step) and set the number of ratchets to a value that puts the ratchets with a velocity lower than what you want beyond the choking step – maybe that would work.
Reducing the number of tracks? Nooooooooo!
+1
As Zaq becomes more complicated and brilliant being able to copy settings from step to step and range to range
would really help with live performance.Additional request sub-request! An ‘offset’ copy paste function – that functionally rotates a sequence along the encoders but actually just copy pastes.
I know there is a dedicated seq function but an ‘offset’ copy paste would enable offsetting individual drum tracks.Its the eighth or nine time that’s the problem. There was me thinking I was the solder sorcerer but then realised I’d put in a capacitor the wrong way round.
Fear is not the mind killer, the little death, its complacency!
PS remember to tin your tips!
That pump looks good. Mine has a heat resistant plastic sleeve that aids getting a decent seal for solder slurping.
Good luck on the Arpie. Excellent first build. I’ve got two connected up to the same chord track on the Zaquencer. Plays very nicely and is a quick route to some added depth in your sequences
Rrrrr presets killed my father!
Hah no not at all. The mathematicals would need to be presets too. I just assume that its easier to reach every rhythm for every user from mathematical presets with inverts.@beau I think the goal is to be able to set a pattern per instrument yes?
Allowing a more controlled version of the random pattern by waveshape but using a lookup table.I think a key question is whether you can have a dedicated offset encoder to rotate the pattern across the sequence.The 32nd one?
it would be good to also be able to invert the pattern. From 01010 to 10101 or from 1001001 to 0110110 for example.
Current it is turn any encoder to the left you get 00000 turn to the right 11111. Maybe you could you the same mechanics for inversions of each encoder.
Personally I would rather see a mathematical layout of patterns than a selection of essential ones. Similar to how the ratchets and delays are arranged. 11111 then 10101 then 10010 then 10001 etc followed by 110011 then 110001 etc.
Horses for courses I guess
Gah! I’m not going to give up on waveshaper mutes!
But… first row of encoders places 1 note then one rest, then two rests then three rests. Second row places 2 notes then a rest, then two rests then three rests. Third row places sets of 3 etc.
1st encoder on each row does a total fill. 5th through 6th encoder offsets by one step two step three step four.And this only works on the active sequence length. Though perhaps one could use the sequence start offset and end to employ offsets – freeing up the other encoders for alternative spacings.
Expect a detailed request for waveshaped mutes and step copies soon!
Its out…..
Nowwwww
Thank you so so SO much Christian – this is amazing. I think you might have to look into replacement on/off buttons too with that startup sequence.
Space between rachets influenced by note length – got it.
Amazing – excuse me while I get my coat, its cold outside and I need to run through the streets and tell everyone.Oh dear now I’ve started to think about how a BCR could would as an 8 track (columns) Euclidean sequencer too. Or a 8 x 4 track? 4 encoders per track …. better than counting sheep I guess.
Rrrrrrr
