Hello to you all!!

Hey guys and gals!
I took command of an 8HD last month. What a beautiful machine!
The sounds are fab, the action is fantastic and weighs a bloomin' ton!

The only thing I cant get my head around is the sequencer. I came from an old Korg Poly 800I & II, a Yamaha DX11, Korg Step sequencer (QS) and a Roland JV50, then got rid of it all, went software based with Reason and thought, the software sounded samey. So went back to hardware, and after looking at forums (including this one) picked this lady. But being used to the software sequencing, the hardware just does my head in!!

I downloaded the tutorial from alesis, but (it must be my age!), still not getting it! Any help would be brill!

Thanks guys!
Micky! ;D

The Fusion sequencer is not pattern based, it is linear. You have to sequence your song top to bottom as you would play it live. Are you trying to figure out how to chain patterns together? Is that where you getting stuck?

Thanks MPS!!

Exactly!! You've nailed it! I can put together a 4 bar loop with drum pattern, bass, melody etc. Is there a cut and paste function, or at least if I create an arppegio I can put various ones together?

Cheers,
Micky!
