Yup, like alien brain wrote, you have to do a sysex dump from the bcr and record it with a midi software like c6, or sysex librarian on the computer.
For how to trigger a sysex dump on the bcr, check page 18 of it´s manual:

Cheers!Hi Citric Acid, the polyphony of a drum track is (all) 16 notes at the same time.
There is no limit to the simultaneous notes that the drumtrack produces (up to 16).I´ve just tried this out with the Acidlab Miami and can trigger all of it´s 12 sounds at once.
What drum machine/expander are you using? Have you tried looking at it with a midi monitor, to verify all notes are being generated from the Zaquencer?
Hi Tim,
please write an email to support@zaqaudio.com, including your order number and codes.
Please also attach two pictures of how the challenge code shows on your device, labelled “left” and “right”.Email sent.
yup this is also possible. either via the buttons on the bcr or a connected midi keyboard.
you can enter monophonic notes (not chords) and drum hits. the entered notes are quantized to the step raster, and have a fixed velocity and note length (which can then be tweaked normally from the main menu again).hi! yes it´s possible to have arbitrary sequence lengths between 1 and 32 steps for each track. this way you can also construct nice crossrhythms between tracks.
reverse and ping pong is also possible per track, that´s the direction parameter from the main menu (forward, backward, ping pong, random)
cheers!
Hi Juan,
thanks for the kind words and welcome to the forums!I´m sorry to hear that you are having problems with the encoders. I have encountered bad encoders as well before, but so far never in the way that you describe. The ones I saw always exhibited their behaviour. Unfortunately there is no setting or reset on the device for the encoders. Also I can´t really think of a resource helping to repair them, except maybe replacing them from another device? First though make sure it´s really the encoders, and not the multiplexer acting up, like explained in this thread: https://zaqaudio.com/forums/topic/sticky-hardware-issues (also check the link given there). Maybe the error you´re experiencing might be connected to that as well, as from your description it sounds more like a problem with the elctronics, and not the mechanical encoders.
If your device is so broken that you can´t realisticly keep using your Zaquencer license on it, please write us an email to support@zaqaudio.com.
andthis is one of the best ratcheting exsamples. http://youtu.be/-1RjvigkDh4
wow, I love this example! thanks for sharing.
while a “per-step-ratcheting” parameter is unclear if possible with the Zaquencer, I´ve noticed that a lot of these videos have manual buttons for the ratcheting. there is something similar in the Zaquencer already too, “note repeat”.
go to mixer menu => hold “note repeat” (page >) => press a track button at the same time => all notes playing at the time will get repeated as long as you hold the button.
you can adjust speed by turning any encoder while holding the “note repeat button”.
also watch out that if you hit the track button when there is a mute step, the mute will get repeated. if you press a drum instrument button while holding “note repeat” that drum will get repeated, regardless of the step contents.EDIT: I just made a quick video, demonstrating the feature here: http://youtu.be/88iPnBkS5Vk
thanks for the update! I´ve been reading around a bit and found for example this thread: http://community.akaipro.com/akai_professional/topics/mpx8_triggering_multiple_samples_simultaneously_via_midi
as you wrote, other people seem to have this problem as well with the MPX8 with a variety of midi sources (the Zaquencer is not sending active sense btw, which was guessed in the thread to upset the MPX8). are you running the clock signal out of the same midiport? maybe that might upset the MPX8. at this point I´m afraid I can´t be of more help with the topic as it seems to be an issue with the MPX8 and I also don´t have an MPX8 here for further tests.
please report back if you find out more in the future!
I like it! noted
thanks for the suggestions!
but are we still (or were we ever) talking about the footswitches with the 2 jacks in the back of the BCR?
there was also already another idea of making these functions available by Midi CC, so you can hook up a pedal board. maybe that´s a more practical plan from the get-go.btw, there is already a way to trigger pattern changes with midi CC (only directly though, not next/prev).
the mutes can be triggered by going into mixer menu and then pressing a track button (or drum instrument button for drum mutes) without holding any other button.
mutes are really stored in flash with the patterns. this has been a deliberate choice so you can arrange with mutes. when you say “when the pattern loops”, are you in pattern chain mode? then it´s correct, because the pattern chain recalls the pattern from flash, also recalling mutes.we considered high and low to add another set of non-flash “live” mutes, but that would have complicated the topic even further. and then we realized that usually there is mostly another set of “live” mutes in the sound generators that are being triggered by the Zaquencer anyway (mixing board or volume knobs).
hm, that´s highly unsusual. have you tried a different drum machine to verify this behaviour? you could also hook up a computer with a midi monitor software to the zaquencer to check if the notes are being generated fine. the drum mutes are disabled I guess, right?
Nice that you´d like to buy more, thanks
Unfortunately it is not possible to add more because of how our authorization system works.
Please consider making seperate orders per license.
