Anoop,
Correct, the sequencer only decides which audio signal (one of the 8
beatloops) is heard over the course of one particular step. This is
done by running the audio signals THROUGH the sequencer. The A-155 is
synced to Ableton by way of my Elektron Machinedrum, on which I created
a pattern of pulses that was 2 bars long which is routed to a specific
output and from there to the A-154 Ext Clock In. This pulse (trigger)
pattern started with 1/2 note intervals and increased up to 16th note
intervals. The pattern plays looped and starts with the drum loops via
Ableton. So, there is some predictability there because you know the
trigger pattern goes from slow to fast over two bars (although this can
easily be changed at the Machinedrum), but which step is active (which
drum loop) is randomly chosen by the A-154 Seq Controller. More
predictability can be achieved by setting the direction to Forward.
Additional control can be had by using the A-154 First and Last step
settings, limiting the range of the sequence (number of steps) and
allowing for more deliberate and specific fills/focus. Effects on the
audio before sending it to the sequencer can make certain steps/audio
slices stand out. But also, the loops I used in the first example were
all several bars long, had a variety of sounds throughout, etc, so added
extra depth to the possible audio output, for better or worse. Using a
group of similar sources, like the second, Jungle example, is slightly
less surprising but sounds more user-friendly.
