E.g. pattern one does 36,quarter|rest,quarter|36,quarter|rest,quarter pattern two does 41,eighth|rest,eighth|41,eighth|rest,eighth|41,eighth| rest,eighth41,eighth|rest,eighth and pattern three does 36,quarter|rest,quarter|36,quarter|rest,quarter + 41,eighth|rest,eighth|41,eighth|rest,eighth|41,eighth| rest,eighth41,eighth|rest,eighth hence you only need to program an app that switch between drum patterns. Perhaps the used drum machine is able to switch by a CC command. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
