See, this is where the issue lies - if I'm coming to the end of an 8(or 16), there will usually be changes in the patterns across many of the groups when moving to the next Scene.delicioso wrote:I usually use 8 bars too but I make it longer if needed and I just re-record the automation if I need to..
So, to use your above technique to automate my reverb tail on my snare across the transition between what would normally be two 8 bar patterns, I then have to manually consolidate every other pair of 8 bar patterns in the other groups into new 16 bar patterns, each with the old first 8 bar pattern on the first half, and the second old 8 bar pattern in the second half.
Maybe I'm missing something very simple here, but that seems to be the only workaround for such a situation.
Also, if you have automatino running over quite different lengths and lntervals on different groups, it becomes quite complex, and lots of new patterns and scenes have to be created.
What happens if I decide that I want to do a slow, 16 bar filter sweep on one sound, and that 16 bar section currenlty consists of four x 4 bar Scenes across the other groups?
Maybe there is a magic pattern length that I should stick to, that covers most possibilities, to avoid such scenarios? But since I work quite spontaneously, I find myself running into similar predicaments when arranging in Maschine, since ill usually have different patterns at different lengths.

Step automation? What is this? Areyoujust referring to the vertical automation bars/lines?
