128 bars per pattern

Been having fun today using trig condition 8:8, cleverly using retrigs, and scale set to 1/8 to make a 4 bar pattern into one that repeats every 128 bars…

So far I’ve got a structure that goes like this
16 bars - rest fill
16 bars - small fill 2:2
16 bars - rest fill
16 bars - medium fill 4:8
16 bars - rest fill
16 bars - small fill 2:2
16 bars - rest fill
16 bars - big fill - 8:8

It’s been fun trying to use one trig with retrig and getting as much of a pattern and the next trig as a conditional accent…

A simple example would be 4 on the floor kicks with one trig using the retrig 1/4 value and note length to 16…

Hope this unlocks some ideas for you guys like it has for me… Enjoy…

Try trig counts, 8 per step. They trigger envelopes. You can add an lfo on start and play a 128 bar sample with envelope at each “step” (8x64=512). You can’t plock individual trig counts, but you can use an lfo designer instead.
