Howdy, Im excited bc Ive ordered a DN after being head over heels for the Octa for a long time… I was thinking of how I plan to sequence them together to make songs out of pattern chains…
My question regards how I want to do it: I love Octa’s Midi Sequencer and Im thinking of possibly sending note data from it to DN but I also know that I want to utilize the P-lock capability of the DN for FM insanity… if I create a pattern in the sequencer of the DN that uses Plocks to sequence FM or other Synth settings (SO this example pattern essentially is NOTHING BUT P-locks) and then send Midi note/Vel/Length data from the Octa will the P-locks be applied to the DN sounds in sequence with the Midi sequencer on the Octa? I realize I can do some form of this using CC data from the Octa, which I def aim to work with in some capacity, but I figured P-locks will give me more direct and powerful control of DN… otherwise I may consider just using the DN sequencer for all of the note sequencing as well as P-locks and use the Octa sequencer for my sample/drum tracks in simultaneous patterns…
So yeah: Will my first proposed use work? Any thoughts on pitfalls I might run into and how to get around them or how I might rethink this approach by doing something else? Thanks for yr answers in advance…
