    Does Patterning 2 allow you to nudge each drum part by ticks?

    In P2 the little double-arrows to the right allow you to nudge the entire loop ahead or behind by ticks (96 PPQN).

    Would be great if Patterning 2 had a per step +/- adjustment for triggering but yeah, if you just want your snares to be a little rushed, etc, the arrows on the right of the wheel will do it. If you need more control, can do multiple patterns or two tracks with different offsets.

    Yes, I just be tickled if there were a lane of the automation where you could change spacing of the steps, for groove. Like making the slices of the pie slightly different sizes, for different appetites.

    Personally I think the tightness provided by drummachines is a stylistic choice (with or without swing/shuffle).

    The problem for folks who like their drums to live off the grid is that most apps don’t give that choice, i.e. the ‘implicit quantization’ in the thread title.

  • 1) My favorite ios sequencer for "groove templates" is Genome. Hand's down.
    2) Watch this: and be fucking amazed. Jojo IS a drum machine with skin.

    Anecdote: I used to be a drummer in the 90s, and my drumteacher was of the school of tight-as-a-drum-machine playing as the highest attainable quality for a drummer. This was in the days that grunge was starting to become popular, which he thought was an abhorrent display of human sloppiness.

    Personally I think the tightness provided by drummachines is a stylistic choice (with or without swing/shuffle). "Human inaccuracies" are not inherently superior to mathematical tightness in my book, especially for electronic music.

    I was a bass player and had the best on/off court chemistry with a drummer you could have. It used to be so fun to mess with each other live with lazy/fast timing In fun, or to seriously change the dynamic of a jam. Little nuances of being in a band I miss.

  • electron stuff has microtiming, per step you can shift a note back or forth right up to the next step. I would have guessed patterning can do something similar.
