Well explained, thanks! The graphics showing the steps were a good visual aid. I guess you could make a 12-bar loop by also copying the original trigs one step to the left and micro-timing them all the way to the right.
With melody it becomes very hard, straight bassline is ok. There is a very handy sequencer from retrokits the rk008 with I don't know about 500steps 16 midi channel
I agree, but what you could do is just start a new pattern, play the second part of the melody naturally, and then do this trick back on pattern one. Might not be the best option, but if you chain your two patterns while playing the melody it works pretty well ☺️
Another technique for making a 128 step pattern is to set the length to 64 and the scale to 1/2. Of course this only gives you 64 usable trigs, but this can often be enough for what you need, e.g. chords, pads, percussion, etc.
Is this an acceptable way of making an 128 step melody? What a massively convoluted way of doing something creatively. That would stop me in my tracks if I wanted to make something. No disrespect to you or your video, just sad that Elektron can’t make 8 bars available on their gear
Thanks for the comment. I totally hear you and I agree. Yes, it would be much easier to use a good 128-step sequencer, or even a DAW. But most hardware sequencers are just 64 steps (or 32). There are a few like the Oxi One that do 128, but not many. So a hack like this is an option for those who don't want to chain patterns A + B back-and-forth or use a DAW. Thanks for watching!

Nice work around. I wonder if Elektron could fix this limitation with an update.
