Midi sync and edit pattern simultaneously?

Post by redlotus »

Hey everyone,

I just got an xoxbox and after abandoning a midi sync with ableton I synced it up to some other gear and it worked well.
It sounds sweet.

However I have discovered that I can't edit while it is midi synced.

Is there a way to have the xoxbox synced up to other hardware as slave or master and also be able to edit notes? eg edit the pattern while its playing along with a korg ea1?

Without hearing my patterns synced and mixed in with the song it is hard to tweak them.

Adjusting them without the track is a bit hit and miss and can be very time consuming. Surely there is a way to tweak a pattern (and I don't mean the knobs :P ) while the device is midisynced and playing?

Any advice would be appreciated.

If it cant be done I will have to fire up Rebirth and do my pattern creating there.

Cheers.,

Well, keep in mind I don't have one yet, but, the manual states:
Editing Patterns in Run-write Mode

Run-write mode allows you to listen to the pattern and modify it 'on the fly.' New notes cannot be added in run-write mode, neither can the pattern be shortened. The tempo at which the pattern is 'run' is set by the tempo knob (no other syncs are available).
seems like it won't do it

what happened to the modded original firmware that had this in "user A" that Limor did? During the first run I thought this was implemented (the c0nsumer overlays had it in the legend) but it something must have happened after that..

No. It's on SokkOS and most modded firmwares.

start it in sync mode then just turn the switch to pattern edit, thats all there is to it.
