Great video thank you

[@dkamhaji]

Each project has 16 banks, not just 4. Each bank holds 16 patterns, and 4 parts. Each of those 4 parts holds settings for each of the 8 tracks and 16 scenes. So that is 16 patterns per bank, 64 scenes per bank 4 parts per bank

It's definitely alot of sound options!

This device is like the Inception of music.

[@adambrensen7090]

Thank you! Reload seems like a great performance feature to go back to the original sounds and effect settings you started with

I like that slow crossfader fade at the end. Nice! Spacey!
Cool

[@totfosk]

man thank you very much for this video

[@swampdweller5]

Thanks for the video. I guess I still can't wrap my head around where you programmed the different samples for each part? I really like your videos. Appreciate you...

[@billionplays808]

Succinct! 👍

[@user-fi4yd2kf6g]

Wow, that’s a beautiful explanation of why this device is so powerful! How long did it take you to understand how it works?

[@ytheeasinine]

Thanks! Still alot to learn for sure, but after a couple weeks with it, I felt comfortable enough to make some beats and jams with it. Having the A4 before helped with the learning process.

👍🏻

[@dustinevans]

So question since each back has 4 parts, are you treating the "Bank" as the song with the "Parts" being the variations? then when transitioning songs, your switching banks?

[@dustinevans]

nm got it

This machine is so not able to be fully functional as it could be-such a terrible system of files-parts-patterns. Samples are so not utilized for variety. I would pay for new firmware
