that is possible – you need to use the 1.5,3 1/1.5, 1/3 etc tempo multipliers
Robert, your proposed method is definitely worth investigating, especially in the light of parallel discussions we had about the way the main player loop works now.
Indeed – the quickest way to quantize everything to the grid is double click SEL and hold it, turn down the STA encoder for about 8 clicks – done.
And back to the original question about 3/4 time – dividing a measure into 12 parts of equal length:
1. Make a chain of 3 tracks and make them 3x speed each. So now, a measure is the time it takes to play all 3 (the full chain).
2. The 12 interesting steps are now the steps 1, 5, 9, 13 in each of the track respectively.
Hope this is what you were looking for.

ripe,
is there a way one can "snap to grid" everything together to do like a global quantized feel for the entire pattern set?
*don’t break my balls if this has already been discussed, it’s just a quick question.
thanks bro

if one was able to get that resolution in say logic audio or an asr-10, and then save as smf dump, can one import that back into the pus via midi? talking with another user he brought up an excellent point. where is your target file going to end up and how will it snap to what your end result should be?
maybe i’m making a monster oversite here… have i missed something?
Um – i’m not sure what you mean? 3/4 is just changing the step length to 12… i think you mean triplets? in which case you need to use the 1.5 multiplier or 1/1.5
i thought the original poster was being too overlly critical with the groove parameter regarding the pus. but now i see what he’s saying. there is that tiny amount between knob steps that i really want. it’s like "right there…" and i can’t hit it. it’s either too much or not enough and if i could just push it farther or behind, i’d be golden. if i drill into the step and push of pull it back, it doesn’t really help. i’m starting to see this more and more now.
i’ve started now see if i can get that feel now in ableton 6. which i think i gave up on too early. maybe the combination of ableton and the pus is what i need

Haha, so now I am the grumpy old man of this forum:evil:
Actually I think you are absolutely right about the non-friendliness of "octave down". It would be a great deal less demanding on the brain to have the same ease of going down an octave as going up.
I am on vacation now, so I can´t really look into solutions, but I can give you my moral supportB)
I only played with a Tenori-on for a minute, but the bounce, isn´t that like:
Set track to direction 3 (back and forth). Adjust lenght of track to taste. Make first step of track active.Quote:At least from the use paradigm I see, if the "value" of the parameter is being displaying in the numeric section of the circle, the master knob should modify the parameter being represented by that number. Just like setting the tempo.Ok, yes I see now how it can make sense. Not bad.
I totally agree with Ripe,almost everytime I reach for the master tempo knob for adjusting the value that is in the outer ring.But Velocity doesn’t work,very annoying.Also when I zoom into a track velocity map neither knob seems to work and I, am reduced to double clicking,rather unergonomic.
