Some More Editing; Playlist Views - Sequentix P3 SEQUENCER Operation Manual

Some More Editing

Let's continue with our playlist example, by returning to playlist edit for the same track.
Hold FUNC and press TRACK key 1.
With P3 still running, you should see the PATTERN LEDs switching from pattern 1 to pattern 2, and
back.
The green PLAYLIST STEP LEDs show the length is 2, and the flashing step will show, along with the
moving red PATTERN LED, that pattern 1 is on step 1 and pattern 2 is on step 2.
Now that the playlist length is 2, the step you are looking at changes as the playlist advances.
So if we want to change the pattern number in a playlist longer than 1 step, you may have a problem.
You change the pattern on a step by pressing the PATTERN key for the pattern number you want.
But what if the playlist advances just as you reach for the PATTERN key?
You could end up selecting a different pattern for the following step.

Playlist Views

To solve this problem, playlist edit has two different ways to view the playlist you are editing.
The view is indicated by the letter in the top left of the display:
C stands for Chase
•
• E stands for Edit
Chase View
The default is Chase view.
In Chase view :
• the display shows the values of step number , repeats, transpose and sync for the current
playlist step
the PATTERN LEDs show the pattern number on the current playlist step
•
selecting a new pattern using the PATTERN keys, selects a new pattern for the current playlist
•
step
As the playlist advances, so does the step you are looking at.
