BM3—-patterns

IOSSOS

Hi,
I find patterns can easily get jumbled up and morphed if not careful...
And recording a pattern in a track can join all existing patterns in a track as one...
I guess better to record patterns separately from the track..then drag them in later right?
Thanks....

In track C1 yellow...l don’t know what happened..three patterns kinda got overlayed.....

the Merge command is your friend. It gathers all overlapping and disjointed midi patterns and combines all the contents into one new pattern.

Simply select two or more patterns on a track with the lasso tool and then hit Merge (bottom-right)

You can always cut the resulting pattern into smaller segments with the scissors tool afterwards.

Warning / Bitching: merging and / or cutting will kill / mess up pattern automation. /

yes. Audiogus is right.

Beware merging and splitting if you have automation data in the patterns.

I've trained myself to add automation at a later stage in my productions.

For me it goes like this...

1. Noodling / overdubbing midi and audio
2. Merging / duplicating / arranging patterns
3. Manual midi edits and tweaks
4. Mixing
5. Automations
6. Export / Mastering
