Grid Edit Bug?

Hello all.

I have upgraded to the latest OS version and still have problems with Grid Edit - I was wondering if anyone else has found the Grid Edit mode going a bit weird around the 100 bar mark?

It looks like it is in 1/32-3 Timing Mode rather than the 1/8 Timing Mode, and the Bar Numbers at the top disappear and re-appear when you scroll using the wheel.

But like I say it is only around the 100 Bar mark.

Strangeness.

100 Bars??

I've seen similar bugs with grid edit. I saw it with only four bars. The numbers on top would disappear. It's a little confusing but usable. It seems like the display can look wrong but the sequence plays right.

I wish it would scroll to different places while it played like in the last os. I could turn the encoder while playing and it would just play the tracks anyway. Now you have to stop it to move it.

100 bars??? Why do u have 100 bars in a sequence?

I guess I'm using it wrong then am I? I dunno?

Because it goes up to 100+ perhaps? Sorry that wasn't suppose to be sarcastic.


Well, I making a song up. So I have drums on track 1, piano on 2, bass on 3 etc.

Then I make a 1 bar loop. Then double it, change the 2nd bar a little, then double it again and I keep doing this until I have one long song.

So what I am doing wrong? How would you guys do this operation?

I make different sequences about 5 to 6 or more. Then I chain them together in song play mode.

when you convert a song into a sequence it could have over 100 bars, I do this all the time to record track mutes and then record the whole performance from the main output as a wave file so I can burn it out on the cd-m25.

True but he is doing it the very long way. Make a 4 bar sequence and copy it a few times and make your changes in each sequence then chain them together in song play mode. Use your manual as back up first!

After that then start to build your own style on sequences and chaining them together to get the sound you want.

Thats just for starters but thats the gist of it.

Fair enough - I'll give that a go in bit.

I'm sure I'll find out as I play around but what are the benefits to doing it this way?

You are far more flexible that way. You can arrange and move around the different parts of your song, intro, break, whatever, as you like. Switch between different sequences live (try the "Next Seq" button ). And you dont have to scroll through 100 bars of note data...

Sorry so late. He is right. Most of us create 4bar sequences or less. In song play mode you can put how many times you want that sequence to repeat. Just realize that there are plenty ways of creating a song but this is the most common. How ever many sequences it takes for you to make a song then thats it. Study your favorite songs on the radio and see if you can pick it apart to give you an idea. Flexability is key. Also whatever works FOR YOU is key also but know your options first.

Yeah, it makes tons more sense doing it this way.

Thanks for the advice - my work rate has improved no end doing it this way.
