Chaining pattern? Loading XML?
Chaining pattern? Loading XML?
Hello,
though I am aware Nepheton is in Beta mode and a Manual will come soon I would be glad about a few explanations.
With the help of a TR-808 manual I could understand patterns, basic variations and Intro/Fill in.
But I am completely lost about chaining the patterns
Also I am not able to load any XML file.
I suppose it should work as some members have uploaded some XML source.
Thanks for the nice work

yes, i would love to know how the segments and variations work...
"Every pattern has 4 segments - part 1/2 and variation A/B. Every segment consists of 16 steps."
also the auto fill in knob is great but i cant get it to use any pattern but #13. i cant wait to figure this stuff out! a quick simple explination would do.
thanx

@teacue:
Yes it's implemented - turn on HOST MODE
Then You have separate set of 96 patterns (8 octaves with 12 notes)
@hteah:
For fillins and intros You can use only the pattrens #13,14,15 and 16
Every time You press START (in play mode) two leds are on - the first shows current pattern (1-12) and the second current intro/fillin (13-16).
You can switch them durring play.
You can also use the Basic Variation and Intro/Fillin switch to decide which variation You want to hear A or B and analogically Intro or Fillin.
Setting "AB" means that first will be played variation A and then B then A then...
Part 1 and 2 is something like pattern length extension. You cannot play Part2 without Part1, but You can play Part1 (with length of 16) and then Part2 (with length 8 as a "chain" for example).
Nepheton hasn't such chain mode as in Drumazon, but You can always compose Your rhythms with HOST MODE
For live playing AB variations and auto-measures or even manual (triggered by TAP button) is quite enough
Hope it helps,
Jacek

Plugins sound master
I do love Nepheton and all your other products, but we do need documentation with them when they are released.
More and more devs are shipping products without any manuals at all now, which is a bit wrong if you ask me.
But I would rather you were busy programming more amazing beat boxes etc, rather than writing boring manuals, but somebody has to do it.
It doesn't matter how much I think I know about something, at some point there is more than likely a moment when a manual would really help avoid some aimless head scratching.

OK thanks, I had already found these Patterns, but did not really understand how they had to be triggered.Jacek@d16 wrote:@teacue:

Now it works well.
Two other questions:
1. Is it normal that when you turn Host Mode on, the separate pattern are always in write modus?
2. Is there a way to copy the normal pattern to the host mode pattern?
I tried with save .nep pattern, change .nep to .nsp but it doesnt work
PS.
BTW I found out how to load XML files.
The XML files must be renamed to .nep or whatever kind of file you want to load.
Ooh! Nice, it works very well.Jacek@d16 wrote:2. Turn into normal mode with WRITE MODE. Select all instruments and press copy. Then turn to HOST MODE and press paste.
Also copying and pasting the first or second part.
Thanks a lot
Still one question:
Am I right assuming that the alternate patterns (simple pattern) are only maximal 16 steps long and cannot have a part A1, A2, B1 and B2 like the extended patterns?
