Moving the start position of sequence

Elektron Gear Analog Keys/Four
#1

Was working on the a4 yesterday an ended up making a great start to a track , sounds great looped but the way I’ve programmed it, not really thinking. It starts on what should be beat 2 so the start should be the beat before, its a longish sequence 64 steps so hard to just change it.

was wondering if theres away to move the start point or to move the sequencer forwards a beat?

I can do this on my beatstep pro its great, hopefully i can on the a4 or I’m just going to have to write each note down program it again.

thanks let me know

Being in grid-recording mode, hold function and hit the arrows left/right to shift the whole sequence to the left or right ; )

This works while in regular editing mode as well (the mode when you just hit the record button).

my bad, used to call this regular editing mode step recording… thx for the hint

Edit: it’s corrected now in my previous post

Oh, I see. I just tried it in step-recording mode now, and it doesn’t work there. So, okay, only in regular editing mode (or whatever it’s actually called) :slight_smile:

OMG! So many times copying and pasting trig by trig :astonished:

Now I need to try this on the digis.

Me too! Just love these questions that might seem old news to some but I forget and am delighted with hearing this again! (I seem to end up focussing on 1 synth’s skills at a time, and back-slide on the others). Only human

Pretty sure this works on all Elektrons except MM and MD. :slight_smile:

It also works with MnM and MD :+1:

Such an essential feature, I need it all the time to fix my fails :grin:
