Title: Drum tie-note - how to extend to 64 steps.
Post by: Trond on September 28, 2018, 10:54:45 am

I am using a Bastl Microgranny with my Beatstep Pro, and now I use it together with my Volca Beats as a part of my drum sequencer (10 pads for Volca Beats, and 6 pads for Microgranny with the pads set to send on midichannel 3).

I want to use the Microgranny to play back some long drone and chord samples, but how to I extend the notes to be 64 steps long? When I try to extend patterns now, the sample start from the first of the 16 notes, and does not continue over from the 16 steps in the pattern before.

What to do?

Use hold on the Microgranny 2 and don't loop?  Only problem there is Microgranny won't hold if triggered by MIDI (weird).
Or program a 16 note tie for the first bank then go to step 16 and change the gate length to tie.  Now copy that bank to the next three.
