DN - live recording on chained sequence?

Is it possible to live record on a chained sequence?

My Bassline is 4 measures and 2 beats long, so the only way to do it would be to chain a 4bar pattern and a 1/2 bar pattern together.

thanks in advance,

it is possible to record on a chained sequence the steps will just record to whatever pattern is active at the time (historically on the other Elektron boxes, I haven’t explicitly tried it on DN yet),

Alternatively there are other ways to squeeze more into the 64 steps, you can use the arpeggio to get subdivisions of a step, and you can use the track multiplier to make a track longer or shorter (by a large factor, admittedly, and it’s global unlike the OT). Try running at 0.5x with 33 steps for example, then combined with the arp trick you could have your 66 steps.

Polite-Society,

Thanks! I’ll try the arpeggio tip.
I learned a lot from this.
