so if it were a long sample, and set to "limit 3"
you could play it over itself 3 times before the newest would cut off the oldest?
interesting. in what scenario do you see this being useful?

That's exactly it right there. For me, it would really come in handy for cymbals and rides. It's easy to fill twenty or so voices using a good ride sample. There are ways around this, using audio tracks or setting the same sample to several pads with mute groups, but it seems like this would be an easy thing to add.

i'm wondering what is the point of this whole new pattern mode? what can you do with this that you can't already do in the NEXT SEQ screen with change type set to IMMEDIATE?

in fact, isn't NEXT SEQ already more powerful than this? each sequence can have it's own program so when you jump around in the NEXT SEQ screen you can also be changing programs if you have it set that way which allows for a much more powerful change of sounds, fx routing, tempos, time signatures, etc.

essentially, this new pattern mode just allows you to jump to arbitrary bars in your sequence, which sounds like the old PAD LOCATE function (anybody remember that?), but you could also do that now by just making each bar a new sequence in SEQ EDIT and then just switch between them in NEXT SEQ.

Pattern Mode seems like it could be more useful in a live setting. I'm speculating that converting Tracks to Patterns may save polyphony, BUT that's just my guess. I could be entirely wrong about that.
When you set a Sequence to play IMMEDIATE, it can be sloppy. I keep it at END OF SEQUENCE.
Having patterns converting from tracks to pads, makes the performace aspect more like Ableton Live, which may be a bit more fun when performing live. It's more fluid than NEXT SEQUENCE in this regard.
Old PAD LOCATE..... It's coming to me.... LOL yeah it's been a while. I somewhat remember it but not entirely. I need to refresh my memory and look into that again.... WOW... I havent been in SEQUENCE EDIT in a long time. There's some cool stuff in there I didnt even remember being there.
But yeah it looks like the whole PATTERN development is suited for more ease of use in a live situation.

The main difference I can see is that next seq only plays one "pattern" at a time - and all the pads are devoted to that alone on the next seq page. With pattern you trigger short sequences whilst playin pads - and any underlying seq continues as normal too. I could see it being used to trigger user defined arpeggios or creating MPC Rex types loops- imaging if JJ made it so sample chop timings could be exported to a pattern. Doin it by hand would be pretty straight forward too.

With this new mode you can change different instrument patterns independently, till now we sere forced to' change the whole sequence, All instruments (tracks) altogether. Now i'll have drum variations while All other tracks continue their routine, tien change the bassline, then have a different melody on the lead synth....this , for me, is a dream come true, really hoping this function will work better than immediately play(another holy grail for liveset, if only the timin wasn't so sloppy...)

Now i understand it, and that is just HUGE!

is it free though like has anybody message him?
cause i want to cop the jjosxl but i dont want to buy n end up having to buy this new update i rather wait feel me..

best bet would be to drop him an email and share your knowledge here

how do i email him?
