How did i do this sequence?

[VAU]

i made a sequence (short forward backward, 8 steps)

if i transpoe it via keyboard, the first not always stays the same pitch /great effect!)

if i transpose it via pitchwheel, the sequence transposes incl first note.

but i don't remember how i did it. any idea?

Ahh ... so you have got the one with the magic key ... cool 

[VAU]

yes but i'd fogotten that too.

seriously, i know it's embarassing, but it's a cool effect.

I will go now to the studio now and give it a try ... but I have uploaded the new FW 1.1 already ... will see

[VAU]

same here. it works with 1.1

I have tried to reproduce it ... but maybe, I didn't understand correctly ... There is one "special feature" of the sequencer and maybe that could lead you back to where you have been.

If we step-sequence a pattern, let's say at pitch "G" lower then middle "C" - just to have an origin ... then later, if we play middle "C" again to start the sequence, the sequence plays starting with aforsaid "G". Maybe in combination with key-priortities you could go there again? I tried, but didn't succeed.

You are sure that you didn't have more modulation going on? Some keyboard-tracking off ... or the modulation track of the sequencer put to some odd function?

At least it was fun to try it ... 

[SoundRider]

same here. it works with 1.1

Can you give me a hint, what did you "modulate", or was it simply some notes and the forward/backward sequencer only?

[SoundRider]

I have played again ...

VCO 3 can be set not to track the keyboard directly ... but it's pitch can be modulated by one of the free mod-slots. Now we can modulate the keytracking of VCO 3 and this could at least mimik, what you have described, if the volume of VCO 3 is switched on and off in the mixer section too ...

@ reply #6:
i cannot give you a hint. it's not a test, i really would love to know how to do it.
there's nothing modulated in the seq mod track. 
i first thought it has to do with SYNC, as this sometimes has the same result (at least here)  as switching KEYB TRACKING off.
but i tried with sync off, same result.

of course most interesting would be, if one could also "freeze" other notes or even parameters..

@ reply #7
keyboard tracking vco 3 is on

You have made me curious and TBO I am interested to understand and/or replicate this too. Maybe I give it another try later. Have you saved this patch? Then you could analyse what is going on. Just check the settings/modulations one by one and if the effect dies ... you know the culprit?

[VAU]

i'll do asap and let you know
