Fahrphrompuken Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Hi All- I am trying to find a way to make the time duration for a drum sequence line to be set by a variable that the user would enter from a "menu" screen. I s this possible? I have not been able to find anything related to this in any of the documentation. The only way I can find is to set the duration in the drum config. BTW- I am trying to do this with a V280. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantcliff Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Bill, I think I worked through this before. You cannot directly change the drum sequence step time. There is a work around. If you use 0 time for the step, you can use a timer to trigger the next step function block when the time runs out. The timer duration can be set through variables. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fahrphrompuken Posted August 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Thanks cantcliff, I'll give that a try. It sure would be a nice enhancement to the drum sequencer FB to add the ability for setting drum duration from a variable. Hint Hint. Is there a feature request page on the forum somewhere?

MVP 2022 Ausman Posted August 17, 2016 MVP 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Hi Bill, Further to Chris's suggestion, I actually do it the other way around. I have the drum sequences set at the absolute maximum allowed for each step, and then adjust things downwards from there externally. This way the progression of the sequence is ensured if something's not right, or a setting is forgotten. Just a different way of looking at what you want to do. cheers, Aus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
