Sorry, but you're just giving bad advice. You could've set the 1/2 speed (scale, as Elektron calls it) just for one track, not for whole pattern. That way you wouldn't have to redo all your drum sequencing for other tracks. Just switch to Advanced mode in the Scale menu and you'll have different settings for each track. Also, you'd have to set your Master Lenght (LEN on the right side of Scale window) to lenght of your most long track. Or just set to some large amount like 128 or 256 steps or even Inf. In advanced mode, each track sequence is playing and looping by itself, each can have different length, and Master LEN is basically the amount of steps (in normal speed) before ALL tracks will be reset to step 1 again. And for the chords - you don't always need to match BPMs, you can chop and shape sampled chords in the sequence, using sample start and end points as well as built in ADSR and filter envelopes
Thanks for commenting :) And thanks for suggesting a fourth way to include chords in patterns via the advanced mode - in the video show 3 other ways I use to achieve exactly the same thing. Regarding not matching bpm, I tend disagree with what you wrote, if your recorded loop is at say 120 bpm and your pattern is at say 130 how would you use the ADSR or sample start/end to make the bpm of the recorded loop and the pattern match?The loop and the pattern will anyways play at different speed/bpm no matter how you chop the loop. The only way I am aware of to speed up or slow down the recorded loop (in the example above from 120 to 130) is via sample tune, but since there is no syncing/warping algorithm in the rytm you will end up changing the pitch/key of the chord loop. Happy to be proved wrong and learn something new ;)
Thank you. That was very helpful :)
