New user pattern question

[Friend of Dogs]

Hello,    Im a new user of the nerdseq. Im instantly very happy with it. its obvious this is an extremely deep module, but Im only 1 day in so I apologize for the nooby question.


Is this changeable? Do the patterns strictly go down the list only, or can you set up a different chain of events for later parts of songs? 

in the manual its stated "

Chained patterns (next under each other) are automatically chained and play after each other and from the chain begin again once the chain ends. 

"

Hey there,

what do you mean exactly? You can chain patterns but you don't have to. And you can always trigger other chains or patterns or islands of patterns...

I think Islands of patterns may have been what I was looking for.

Is it that if there is a pattern made directly underneath the current pattern (thinking the sequencer screen), it will play them in succession? but if the (--) is there, it won't continue on?

I apologize, im trying to make sense.... its difficult


also while i'm here, i seem to be able to use midi to control only channel 4 so far. is that weird?

Hopefully these will be the only nooby questions I have, thank you for your help!

Exactly, islands will play in their own loop. You can jump to other islands easily.

I guess you only send midi on channel 4 then. The Midi channels choose the current track/outputs with the current implementation.
Midi channel 1..6 channels 1..6 and 7+ for the samples.

I see, very cool.

What do you mean by "current implementation"?


thanks for all your help by the way.

At the moment the Midi-Channels are fixed mapped to the tracks / outputs. In a future version, the midi will be freely mappable and get more functions.
