Function + Left / Right shifts MD and MnM steps back and forth when in grid record mode

Is that new or am I reallly behind? I know a few people here wanted it so if they don't know already, they should do now. I don't know how many times I just shouted "F**K!" when I found that.

BTW if this is old, feel free to delete mods.

I was quite amazed when I realized that you could that too Very nice to use and twist basslines around and things.

yea, it's pretty old. it was there when i got my first MD in 2003

I didnt know!

i like to copy a track

then shift it back and forwards against the original

getting off beats, doubling bass lines

on a few track i would shift it 16 or 32 steps to get a different starting point for the line.

a quick way to get variations of the same pattern too.

yes you've got a big behind....lol.....or rtm

Would be nice to have a similar function for the whole pattern too, not only the tracks.

Shit, I can move it as many steps as I want right??

Does this mean I can shift along to say steps 46 - 52 in a pattern, then shorten the length to 16 so only those steps are looping?

You can shift those steps back to the first 16 then shorten the loop to 1 bar.

+1 on the pretty old.

Altho it is good tho. Pretty good for twisting a beat for a couple of bars when yr jamming and then dropping it back inline.. or the old Kicks move to the offbeat for 4 bars n then back on "a la" Ben Sims n the like.

yeah, pretty old tip but anyway one of my favorites!
I always shit the basslines against the kick when I finished them to see if another starting point makes it a better one...it´s amazing to hear how the same sequence twist to another different one just by moving a few steps

while playing live this is an excellent variation tip to do...too bad you can´t MIDI it (you can´t, right?...or I´m missing something?) I´d love to have this function instantly available for several tracks at the same time

I try it with the kick track instead of the bassline and it annoying with 4 on the floor kicks...it´s sounds like a bad technique mixing or something wrong...
BUT if you make a no-kick break leaving a pad o r some backing sequence/noises you can move the kick while muted and change the whole track when it back to the mix!...you have to make a pretty long break to make people forget about the position of the kick

talking about MIDIfied functions: anyone knos if you can transpose a track via MIDI?...I mean a control to the transpose function

well, I think I can use pitch bend assigned to a button, right?
