You are correct! Blank trigs and ‘normal’ trigs with no p-locks are OK as long as there’s no other trig conditions to break the chain. And I like your term ‘Fill Cascades’
I just accidentally learned that when naming a pattern you can press FUNC + PAD MENU (︎) to backspace/delete the current character. So much faster than selecting blanks one at a time!
I think the details of controlling LFO Modes via velocity must have changed at the 1.13 firmware update or something because I’ve got different modes.
Basic setup
LFO menu
Wav Saw
Mul x8
Dst PTCH
Dep 6.0 (one octave)
LFO Speed 38
(I chose pitch because it allowed me to clearly hear how much of the cycle was running)
Pad/Vel Menu
VDep 0
Dst MODE
DDep 2.0
The experiments
PAD hits Varying FIX on Pad/Vel Menu - WITH RESET OFF on LFO Setup menu
1-31 - free run
32-63 - reset
64-95 - hold
96-127 - one full cycle (start with reset)
OFF - free run
Sequenced Trigs varying Velocity - WITH RESET OFF on LFO Setup menu
0-31 - free run
32-63 - reset
64-95 - hold
96-127 - one full cycle (start with reset)
PAD hits Varying FIX on Pad/Vel Menu - WITH RESET ON on LFO Setup menu
