next major update will possibly feature the extra randomization options you suggested. For the time being, you can prevent a parameter from being randomized, by simply touching it when you hit the "rand" button.
Sorry, I missed that one.
Sounds great, this channge will make randomization much more effective to use, especially with being able to use a percentage value how much I want it to randomize. Looking forward.
Not sure about the "accuracy" thing but Im already working on a running-light for the sequencer (it will require midi clock input from the host) derived from iPad-LFO studio template found in factory templates and some neat options for pattern editing (an internal memory bank of 24 slots so you can save altered patterns of a drum sound on the fly and play by changing them without having to change the mTonic's native pattern system).
The sync/sequencer would be a
huge major addition to the template and Microtonic. The internal bank idea for altered patterns without having to change mTonics native pattern system will be an important bonus as well.
See, for the second feature, I found out that, because there is no way to chage the pattern globally if you have, say "pattern a" already running, and you wish to have a slight variation of your hat (sound 8 for example), if you copy-paste it to "pattern b" you still dont have control what happens with sounds 1-7.
Using the internal (Lemur) patterns memory bank it will be possible to have sounds 1-7 patterns "unchanged" and just add variations to sound 8 and play with them.
I haven´t actually worked so much with the internal patterns of mTonic, so far I rather used an external midi sequencer, like my monome with molar, because I was able to change sequences fast on my monome and didn´t need to worry to use my mouse to do that in mTonic itself. The possible option to change patterns the way you mention here plus a synced sequencer will change the way how I use mTonic in the future.
Fingers crossed that it will be working as we wish.
Sonic Charge should hire you for that...
, or at least mention it one day exclusively on their Sonic Charge web page.
Let me know if you need some testing ahead, I´ll be happy to help and support you on this. Sent me a personal mail if you need my email.
