HI Everyone,

I was wondering if somebody could tell me how to set up ESX to play single sample not every 16 but lets say 32 or more steps. Imagine situation, that I have BD at 1,5,9,13 and want to play some sample at 4 and 8 but every second cycle , so samples would be played like this : 1,5,9,13 ; 1,4,5,8,9,13 ; 1,5,9,13 ; 1,4,5,8,9,13 and so on.... Hope that it is understandable

)

thank you

A pattern can have up to 16 X 8 steps. Chose the pattern length as 2, then it will run 2 sets of 16 steps, and in the second set you can add the 4 and 8. You move from first 16 to the next 16 via the arrow buttons.

thank you for your reply,

so I see, that it cannot be played in a life-gig situations, can it? Because it looks like it can only be used when you're trying to build a song, am I right?
Anyway, thanks a lot, that explains to me what I should do!

greetings,

you can still play it live. it's one of the strengths of tribes. you can either do manual dialing of the patterns live or assign a pattern set so you can easily switch to the desired patterns on variations of the bass drum as you explained

Ahh, I see what you want. For live I kind of keep it simple: each pattern variation goes to the next pattern. For example, A.01 = 16 steps, A.02 = 16 steps, etc. I make sure each pattern has some variation, so that I can jump from, say, A.08 to A.10 or A.06 without it sounding strange. Or I can stay withing a pattern and mess around with FX and adding/removing steps, then jump to another pattern and back. You can also change a pattern live, press "compare" to go to the original pattern, and again to go to the changed pattern. There are lots of ways to mess around and do what you want on the Electribes.
