does it mean that you do not own a nava and test your firmware build with a program?Neuromancer wrote:Noted...currently working on the SysEx.

No it, means there are 2 sides on sysex communication. Sending and receiving, that is the part I need testing for.General_Midi wrote:does it mean that you do not own a nava and test your firmware build with a program?Neuromancer wrote:Noted...currently working on the SysEx.

Big +1 for this one. I really miss that too. That feature even works on a "simple" TR606...Neuromancer wrote:As I understand pattern groups to be working you can "chain" any sequential group of patterns.FlavioB wrote:So for my understanding: you'd like to group some patterns, which, I believe, have to be sequential (like A1-2-3-4), and then you'd like to enter step mode and be able to actually change let's say the SD active steps in a way that you can go through all of the grouped patterns? Like if the patterns are 16 steps long, you'd like to be able to just go to step 38 (which would be step 6 of pattern A3) and punch in an SD?Neuromancer wrote: IMO I should be able to create a pattern group of any size up to 16 patterns and edit that group in step mode as it is one single large pattern.
Or am I mixing up pattern group with pattern sequence?
F.
Current situation is:
Step mode with running sequencer, at the moment the switching to another pattern in the group happens all unsaved changes are lost.
I'd like to be able to see that pattern group as a single longer pattern, with no lost changes at a pattern switch.
Then when saving the pattern you would save all patterns in that group.
I noticed people asking for longer patterns (32.64...etc) and using pattern groups is the only way for that to happen.
The problem on current FW is that you have to hit ENTER live for each bar to save when chaining, so when the sequencer leaves the first bar, all edits are lost. It would be more logical to use enter to save the whole chain before leaving the chain.FlavioB wrote:Yes, that's what I also was trying to describe: A1-2-3-4 could be B6-7-8-9-10-11 - it doesn't matter how many patterns you chain, but you cannot group patterns as such. Grouping would be like A3+A6+A7 - and afair there is only the chaining feature implemented (which is the only one making sense, IMO).Neuromancer wrote: As I understand pattern groups to be working you can "chain" any sequential group of patterns.Yes, that's how it's intended to be - or at least, how the software is working (I'm not discussing pros&cons of this).Current situation is:
Step mode with running sequencer, at the moment the switching to another pattern in the group happens all unsaved changes are lost.I understand what you mean and I can relate somehow to it. But IMO it'd be better to implement longer patterns, instead of having people deal with this workaround to get where they want to. I mean: if I'd like to use 64-step patterns and I would have to chain four 16-step patterns, that would be awkward and it would mean losing patterns in a bank. You'd be sort of ending up with only 4 patterns (4 chained 16-step patterns), instead of eventually being able to set the pattern length to 64 steps and have 16 patterns à 64-steps at your fingertips within the same bank.I'd like to be able to see that pattern group as a single longer pattern, with no lost changes at a pattern switch.

What do you think?

Maybe a combination like "shift+enter"?Oortone wrote: The problem on current FW is that you have to hit ENTER live for each bar to save when chaining, so when the sequencer leaves the first bar, all edits are lost.

Agreed on this one as well. I'm more used to the TR-808/TR-606 way of doing patterns...Although I would prefer to ditch the save-by-enter alltogether.
