"Note OFF unquantisized" Option for Sequencer

I find it a bit limiting to only have 16 sequences. If want more variation I quickly run out of sequences. Scrolling up and down could be a fine way to navigate between pages of sequences. Even as little as 32 or 64 would be a huge improvement.

For example:
Let's say I have 4 samples. Well if I want 4 different sequences of each to come in at different times and still want to mix and match them with eachother, then I have already used up my 16 patterns and cannot make any other sequences for other samples.

I could put other sample sequences nested in some of the original sequences, but what if I want variation there too?

While I'm asking, I suppose more song sections could be useful too, but since those can be so long and bring different sequences in and out it is less of an issue.

+ 1 , very useful, thanks

Isn't this were resampling comes in? If you have 16 samples you can resample them down to 1, 2, 3, etc, variations of the initial 16. I'm finding that BB glitches hard after I have 6 samples playing at one time. Can't imagine that adding to the already 16 available slots is going to help with the limited resources the B-box already has.

Tylercorbley is requesting a greater number of sequences and song sections. Not the number of pads.

I can see where more than 16 sequences could be helpful.

Another plus one to this! This would be amazing to have as well as my tracks are very diverse as well and I need more variation, I think 32 sequences would be good , or tops 64. I pray this becomes a reality. Blackbox is becoming a Logic Pro X killer one update and feature request implementation at a time.

If we could get this feature request of more sequences, the ability to turn off quantizing, and mute individual notes/slices in sequencer, I'd sincerely only use the Blackbox. It'd be a complete DAW killer then, rather intentional or not.

So much yes! +1

While waiting for an update of pads / seqs / sections, you can already resample seqs and songs. Here is what I do to stay organised:

* once you notice that a preset is becoming too complex, just add a “main” suffix to the preset name;

* then create or copy that preset as a new one (naming it eg pt1), reference (ideally not copy) the wavs from the main preset, record and mix the relevant seqs and song sections in the new specialised preset and finally resample them as bounces or stems in there;

* then import those bounces or stems as clips into the “main” preset, and rearrange them with seqs and song section as desired;

* if some parts require reworking, go back to the specialised preset and repeat the steps;

* you can always pack and clean at the end.

This workflow is clearly a workaround and requires some organisational discipline. Nevertheless, it all works without a computer.

The only notable inconvenience that i’ve found so far in that workflow stems from the mix settings in the specialised presets, as they do not take into account the overall mix, so that sometimes you need to write down some settings on a piece of paper to coordinate.

I really need this!

I can’t see how it would put anymore strain on the device and it give you more scope to do things like drum edits with say one chopped break on a pad. You could even go on a break chopping session with loads of breaks, resample the chopping session into one long sample, bring into a new session as a slice preset and trigger different breaks on different keys on different sequences.

I could use up 5-6 sequences alone just triggering the different breaks and doing fills and edits. The strain on the system is no different than the original pad being triggered on multiple keys in one sequence just on different sequences ( as long as you don’t trigger the same original chopped sample simultaneously on two different sequences?

[dertranb]

yes indeed, i use ext sequencer that triggers BB pads, and it's really annoying that i can't rec when i play a multisample in the same time (because it records all the triggered pads TOO)

[dertranb]

bump !

in order to be able to play and rec one specific pad while other pads are triggered but should not be recorded :
1/ "/tools/midi in recording" option in the channel to be recorded : the bb should record omni OR channel x. (or per pad).

[denizgarout]

+ 1 on all of this and plus adding the "recording automation in a sequence" feature as it was requested a lot too.
e.g https://forum.1010music.com/forum/pr...ord-automation

[jayneural]

yep, I think it's probably the best way to bring modulation as requested in my post.

[denizgarout]

Ah whoops didnt get that. then you've covered the big ones for me

[Quasimonastic]

I got one of the first few production units they sold and I'm still in love with this thing! 1010 have been wonderful with updates so these sound good to me. But one thing I have to add is Midi control over recording!! I knew buying it that it wasn't implemented (and we all know, don't buy a piece of gear for what it might do). But this would be an amazing and seemingly simple feature to add.

I say seemingly but please Aaron holler if I'm making a wild assumption (that is, there are so many other well implemented midi features on the BB wouldn't this fit right in)?

Be well 1010 crew and a huge thank you for all your creativity and positivity!!

[jose.gs.araujo]

Fully agree with jayneural. this is a good summary of where we would like this box of wonders to go. allow me to add:

- if possible, increase the maximum number of samples loaded per pad/project
- ability to load a custom selection of samples within a folder, instead of simply "load all"
- MPE?
- full midi control of per track recoding and playback, so it can be used as a live looper via, for example, foot controllers
- automation of recording and playback, so it can be used as a pre-programmed looper

Happy holidays to all you 1010ers. and congratulations on a year of great product releases and update. the community can tell how special your company is!

Btw, I specifically developed the Trackbox/Trackerbox idea in this thread : https://forum.1010music.com/forum/pr...blackbox-o-o-o
