I just bought an Organelle. While exploring preloaded patches, I tried to figure out how the most common sequencer works. It’s pretty straightforward, but one thing bothers me.
Just before I try overdubbing with a sequence playing simultaneously, there is a short pause, like 2-3 seconds of silence. For me, this limits live act possibilities, because uninterrupted overdubbing seems impossible. I remember seeing a demonstration video by C&G, where entering the overdub mode is not preceded by any pause.
So… Is it possible to ged rid of that pause before overdubbing?
Also, Organelle is just amazing, I really love it.
The seq3’s overdubbing pause can be shortened if you modify the code. As an example, here is a step by step example for the Analog Style patch. After opening up the main.pd file:
The overdub function always restarts the existing sequence. The pause will still be determined by the internal MIDI clock or external MIDI clock / Link tempo if present, but will be reduced as much as the seq3 framework allows.
(You could always modify the overall code for the overdub function to start wherever you wanted, last for a predetermined time such as existing sequence length, etc.)
You should close all the windows except main.pd before saving the patch!
