You are absolutely right – and I just made an update to the OS download page.
Sorry and apologies for the inconvenience, I should have thought of this earlier.
Gabrieldoesn’t the custom track directions feature already sort of achieve this? If you come up with a series of decent ‘remix directions/templates’ that you use across your project you can write a simple pattern and have it play in a number of pre-defined directions… and used in combination with track chaining/track repeats you’d get similar (probably better) results – am i missing something here?
maybe i’m misunderstanding the feature as it’s described, but to me it seems like a simpler, more random version of track direction functionality in the octopus… the only advantage being it’s a little quicker and random which can be both good or bad

Perhaps this version of the OS should also be linked from the main OS Files page with a little note for 1.42 users? I must have tried to upload 1.60 five times using different sysex senders, midi devices and even a different computer before I checked these forums as I assumed it was a problem on my end first!
Great with some fresh input. I don´t know the stuff you are talking about, but the concept sounds good.
It has triggered these thoughts (something else but related in spirit):
We already have the remix function. So I am thinking, what if remix worked in a momentary way. Push and hold a knob and the page is "messed up". The moment you release the button, the page is returned its normal state. This would be extremely effective from GRID view where you could "play" the pages, making momentary alterations.Taking this a bit further, we could include midi note control over momentary remix (so we could "play" the alterations from any keyboard) as well as using a page to control momentary remix via virtual midi. (Now this controller page could also be remixed, hahaha).
Great, thanks. I had a felling that it might be related to step events. I never played so much with those. Gotta have a step event session soon…
Hello Carl,
what exactly do you get as a result? Does your Octopus react to the SYSEX stream? Does the Matrix fill up to about half? Does your Program LED blink? Red or orange?
One first thing to try is to reduce the speed of the MIDI Sysex stream. Other than that maybe a MIDIOx user can jump in – the settings for my SYSEX librarian on OSX are "Pause betwenn played message 120ms" with full transmission speed for the interface, which is an Elektron TM-1.
Hope this is of some help.I actually got it running here, it’s pretty cool, very pattern oriented (in a john coltrane kind of way).
It’s pretty easy to make it modal too with a flip of a switch, set scales to full power…The latter.. Lars’ settings did survive the upgrade, but he had a 1.6 beta version installed already.
Does it mean that the settings survive the upgrade, or that after the upgrade the setting will survive subsequent upgrades?
It means that you can modulate with a step event not only the map factor of the classic attributes, but even the map factor of the AMT itself, meaning that the amount of AMT can be modulated as well.
did I get this right? :blink:

Clavia NM and G2 both have pattern generators with probability which I, and everyone else that has one, use a lot.
You have 32000 patterns with up to 128 steps length and step probability. the base patterns and the probability can be modulated at run time so you effectively have quite a few possibilities.
just an idea…
For travel it would be nice to have a collapsible edition, that is you don’t really need all that air between the control surface and the brain/power supply.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s beautiful to see, but it does take up lots of space…Thats’ why you need to buy a nemo!
