Editing A Playlist - Sequentix P3 SEQUENCER Operation Manual

Editing A Playlist

In the rest of this chapter, we'll take a default playlist, see how it looks in playlist edit, and then
gradually extend it.
So that you can follow the example, you'll need to use a bank with default playlists.
If you just got a new P3, it should default to bank 1 at power-on, and the bank will be ready to use in
this example.
If you have already experimented with playlists before you knew what you were doing, you may want
to use the bank init function - just to be sure you are starting from the right place.
Playlists control which patterns play, but if there is nothing in the patterns, there won't be anything to
hear!
So let's make sure you have a couple of patterns to use with your soon-to-be-created playlist.
Follow these steps to create two patterns on track 1.
Make sure the patterns have the standard length of 16 steps – we'll be using odd lengths later to look at
the sync option.
You should be starting from part 1 in play mode
Enter pattern edit on track 1
•
Create a simple pattern, save it – this will be pattern 1, then return to play mode
•
Switch to part 2
•
Enter pattern edit again on track 1
•
Create another pattern, save it – this will be pattern 2, then return to play mode
•
You can already play your two new patterns in sequence by using a part chain – so let's check that out
now.
