not revolutionary, but realyl quick and easy to do using the jenius os

1 - grab a open melodic loop sample
2 - chop it note per pad
3 - program your melody
4 - move to new track
5 - copy original pgm
6 - in global param edit, tune it down 12
7 - give it a lowpass to taste w/ high resonance
8 - push decay to 100
9 - copy programmed melody to track 2

this basically gives a copy of the sample an octave lower. brings out some of the cool lower stuf going on, while maknig the sample occupy more space. i like it. esp cuz the stuff is decayed, so it sounds like a completely different sample just in the exact same key of the first. good for adding additional melodies, or just keeping as a copy.

also can do this the longer way by moving them to different pad layers and pitching them there, or by creating this all in 1 pgm (banks A and B, etc) and then simulting, but this is a quick way to get something out of it.

seq edit - copy from one track to another w/in the same sequence. this preserves all qlink data, note info, etc

Nice one Antonym.
i'm gonna have to try out some of these duplicate program tricks this weekend.

so many things to experiment... so little time...

I'm finally getting use to grid edit, but can't figure out to edit sample start time in there. :?:
generally, I prefer to rock the pads live... the grid thing looks nice for tweaking things though.

I've been having some layer fun, duplicating and reversing samples to layers with some wacky qLink start action. wicked, abstract sounds.

woot! woot!

+6? That will hardly fit the key, try +7 ;)
