Limit track to certain length or unlimited?

Hi, I think I might have asked before but I think that was before v. 8
Is there any way to have may sequence (lets say 64 bars) running and repeat the track I am editing tahat is only 1 or 2 bars long? And also the other way round. Can i record unlimited time while my sequence is just 4 bars long and looping similar to ableton where clips can be endless and you just set start and end point for them to go with the rest?

With 2.8.x... you can just play out over a short bar... and I think the shortcut to dump the midi data into the track is shift-record... it's in the manual.

Set your sequence to 64 bars and set the track length to (x) beats

You can have all your track lengths 4 bars and sequence 999 bars then whatever track you wish to record longer set to seq or whatever amount of beats you require.

Man you can have your midi sequence loop for eternity... track out at the end. The work around I’m seeing on 2.8 is having your midi sequences on different programs for the same tracks and muting the last ones. If you’re working on smaller stuff try the clips.

Song mode> convert to sequence > tracking out my synth is still working like it always has just have to shuffle the programs around.. literally a few button pushes and turning the dial to the right output and midi track.
