So, to cut right to it - let’s say I have a synth on track 1 I’m controlling. Got a nice melody going on pattern 1, have the ARP midi effect on, and I’d like to just make a tiny variation of that ARP for pattern 2 (on the same track). Is there some way I can give the arp midi effect a permanent new setting for pattern 2 without parameter-locking or automating it (let’s say change it from random mode to up/down, for instance)? Let’s say I have a 4 bar loop, for instance, I could always p-lock all the steps or automate over the four bars, but is there a simpler/quicker way to change the midi fx settings for the entire pattern?
I guess I could just use different tracks, and I might end up doing that, but having different midi fx settings per pattern would be ace, and would pretty much make the creation of slight variations of patterns such a breeze.
I got my second-hand pyramid over 2 weeks ago and loving the agreeable work flow and the variations the fx and polyrhythm. I am using it to sequence my DT and Waldorf rocket. I was curious and I may have missed it but couldn’t figure out if it is possible to p-lock per note (step sequencer) or is it only possible via automation of the FX units?
Thank you
Determine which MIDI CC you need to send to affect the DT Parameters
Enter that info on the Pyramid in Step Mode
easy peasy!
