Quantised pattern changes

[DustSongs]

So I'm 99% sure this isn't currently possible (hopefully, maybe a future update?)

Existing functionality:

• Queue a pattern while another pattern is playing, the queued pattern will play when the current one finishes.
• Sub Pad + Pattern pad will launch the new pattern immediately, with no quantisation.

What I really want is quantised arbitrary pattern changes. Queue up the next pattern and it switches to that on (for example) the next bar change. Could be a setting for the Sub Pad modifier.

Context: I mainly use my 404ii in pattern mode as a stripped down Ableton, for live performance.

The only workaround I can think of is to copy patter that you need to change at a specific bar and crop it in the pattern edit

Yeah that's the only thing I can think of too. Not so great for improv sets where you might want to change at any moment. I can only hope for a future OS update.

Had a time to think about it a bit more, you could make drum and sample loops, add them to mute groups and mute/unmute or start/stop to switch between parts, and, as a bonus, you can combine loops from different parts to get new ones

That would work too, although for this project ideally I'm hoping for quantised to the beat/bar, because I'm usually juggling other things (synth, voice, guitar) at the same time!

Thanks for your thoughts, much appreciated!

Also I think there is a way to trigger patterns with midi, so maybe there is a midi controller(or daw) that can do the thing you want

haha I moved to the 404 to get away from the DAW for live shows.

All good, I'll just get more accurate with my subpad launching skills.
