Anyone else think ‘Locking effect parameters to patterns’ should be on by default?
You create a pattern you like as a basis for you tune with or without effects/automation, you copy the pattern to the next row to evolve it somewhat and the effects/automation are copied too, but you evolve these again, but automatically this pattern doesn’t change the first pattern in a global manner? So I guess what I mean is global changes are off by default. If I added effects or automation to a copied pattern I don’t want that globally added to the other patterns on that track.
perhaps that could be a preference on the project. To me it seems more logical to have it default to being global, as my mental model is to think of the effects as across the entire track rather than a pattern thing. But I can see your argument too
Yeah I think it’s probably my preference. I like to work on a pattern add effects and automation, copy it to a new pattern keeping everything in the last pattern I worked on then change the effects and automation some more, then copy again to another pattern, but none off this globally changes the other patterns I’ve worked on, they are all individual. I can do it manually locking these but gets a bit clunky.
Yeah a Misc option would be great, even if it was to turn off the global change mode on all patterns for a track. However if you copy a pattern it does bring those settings with it (automation, effects).
+1 I’m more inclined to have effects be pattern specific so I would probably use that, I think the flow would work better for me
I find that I put down the first pattern with a couple effects, then start working on a new pattern (maybe by duplicating the first), and I want to put a new effect on the new pattern. Almost 100% of the time I end up setting the new effect to be pattern specific because I don’t want whatever changes I’m making to screw up the first pattern.
