Sequencer: Pattern numbering/ordering
The existing numbering would be more useful if I could change the order. Alternatively I can add my own numbering to the pattern names, but then i’d like an option to sort by the name.
The background story is that I am converting songs into banks. To rebuild the tracks, I created patterns, then scenes, and built up the song. I realised that the scenes made the song redundant so I focussed on the scenes. Then I realised that I couldn’t store my scenes with the bank. So then I numbered my patterns in the order which they would play if they were a song. This lets me load the patterns, get an instant feel for the song structure, then launch whichever bit feels right in the context of whatever else I’m doing.

I havent checked this, but pattern number is just the name isnt it, so renaming completely removes the pattern number doesn't it ?
Not by iPad right now.
Hmm no, it keeps the track helper list order doesn't it lol.
Sorry ignore me !!!
yep, Scene names can be completely changed, but Pattern names can’t.
They can but it is a workaround and would be a pita, you create a new track and drag them to the new track from the track helper in the order you wsnt them numbered.
Like i say a pita, sorry its the best workaround i can think of while away from pad.
Yup that makes sense - thanks
