Hi,

Just wondering if somebody who works with Drum Patterns a lot knows the answer to this question?

I know you can have up to 1000 (0-999) Drum Pattern Banks, but not sure what the max number of patterns you can have in a Bank. I thought it was 100 (0-99), but can find examples of Drum Pattern Banks that are larger.

So, does anybody know how many Patterns you can have in a User Drum Pattern Bank?

Hi Derek,

I believe the User Drum Track Patterns U000-U999 are not stored at the bank level; they are in global, and shared by progs/combis from all banks, and for that matter sequenced songs. They are selected on the Drum Track tab of each prog/combi/song.

...Yeah, I just checked - it's definitely the same list of patterns, no matter where I am. Among others, I can see a percussion pattern I made for a combi in bank User-G, while I'm editing other things such as Prog Int-A000, Combi User-D123, or Song001 ...etc, so it's not restricted per bank or per mode.

Re patterns 0-99; maybe you are thinking of Sequencer mode? Each song can contain User Patterns (which can be used on any track, not necessarily just for drum tracks) numbered U00-U99, and these are unique to each song (not shared between them). You can load preset/user Drum Track Patterns (either singly or as a range) into a song's User Pattern(s); this creates a copy just in that song. You can also convert one/all patterns from a song into User Drum Track pattern(s), which can then be used in a Prog or Combi, or another song.

HTH !

Hi, Thanks

For replying.

I've realised I have my terminology wrong! Doh! Not sure how I ended up with that view. Must have been after staring at PCG file structures for too long....

So, what I was calling a Drum Pattern Bank is the Drum Pattern

What I was calling the Drum Pattern, is actually the events in the Drum Pattern.

So, my question should be: "any idea of the max number of events in a drum pattern?

I am asking, as I am programming kronos.factory, and just need an idea of the max number of events to support.

Hello Derek,
Sorry for my question a little out of subject here :
Are you working on new drum patterns for an eventual next Kronos OS ?
It would be great really because many of the actual drum patterns are full of useless notes and often complicated for the sake of it.
New drum patterns would bebe just fine !
