WMD Metron sequencer

[mosorensen]

Is there an obvious/elegant MIDI breakout solution for Metron ? I want to send 1 track of midi to external gear. I wonder if there is anything that maybe could connect to the Metron S-BUS and send MIDI out through TRS or DIN .. ?

Expert Sleepers has this module, but I am not sure how many different MIDI commands Metron can actually send through the S-Bus:

Is it possible to duplicate/copy a Page (say Page 2) from one Variation (say Variation A) and paste it into a specific Page (say Page 4) in another Variation (say Variation C)?

I often take a 16 step Page and copy it to multiple Variations and then change each one (making variations). In this case it would be nice to be able to take the best Variations and put them back to back in a specific order in one multi-Page Variation. This would then free up the other Variations to experiment with. Kind of like bouncing down with old reel to reel recording. As it is, I am running out of Variations pretty quickly.

"Compose Chain" looks like it does this. I had played with Compose Scene but I missed this feature... Never-mind!

Is it possible to randomise a voltera's channels by an assignable input? I have 5 of them and would like to auto-randomise some channels..

Unfortunately not but it would be an amazing firmware addition.

Yeh I’d also like to see this. Would be great to send it a manual gate to randomise when you like and then it would loop that random until you send another gate. Turing machine-esque

Anyone successfully controlling Metron scenes on the Select bus?

What MIDI does Metron respond to as a Select bus slave? I'm trying to get it to respond to an ES Select Bus Breakout. I have Select bus direction to "in" and have tried sending bank and program changes on channel 1, but no go.

I can use it as master and the EX breakout does receive program changes on MIDI channel 1. Just can't get it to work as slave.

Thanks,

Hey Bro, did you ever get that working? Now that i have all those patterns in metron, i'd love to program change them via midi... WMD replied to you suggesting ch0, but midi is 1-16 isn't it?

[XiXora]

0–15 raw binary value, I assume they are referring to as in ch1.

Hi Metron heads, was just wondering, has there been a firmware update to allow more granular probability setting per step? Or still only possible to select between the preset probability values?

Still preset per step. 10, 25, 50, 75.

On related request - any chance of getting more granular control over gate length in future firmware versions? Even 10% increments would be better.

yeah - both would be really good!!

Still awaiting the sacred firmware update for this. Refusing to lose the faith that one day it'll appear!!!

Have seen this firmware update mentioned a few times, but never by WMD. I'm guessing this is something they promised/suggested would happen? How long ago?

Is anyone pairing their Metron with another module that can add variation to anything sequenced in Metron? Thinking of something like Bastl Kompas https://bastl-instruments.com/eurorack/modules/kompas

Ideally, want some easy to program Euclidian stuff - while possible to programme on Metron it's not very immediate.

Yeah Alex mentioned it to me in an email. I'm wondering if they've given up and maybe decided that just designing a Metron mk.2 would be easier. I hope not!!

It's been spoken about for about 18 months.

Firmware update is coming. Not going to have more granularity in random. It will have some other things though, not going to list them now as it may change based on available memory and unintended consequences. Each firmware update takes longer because it requires us to very thoroughly test every existing feature to ensure it doesn't break.

[jpizzo]

Cooool!!!

[elphenden]

Great news! Looking forward to seeing what you add to this already awesome beast.

[dbeats]

I had been voting and waiting for more granularity in random as well - until I recently got to know other drum sequencers' implementation of randomness...I'm talking about the Behringer RD-9 and the Ground Control from Endorphin.es. Even happier now with my Metron v1.4.

Nice one mate! Looking forward to it

Hopefully there will be some kind of euklid mode in the update!!! Looking forward to install it.

No use of an euclid feature IMHO. You can set steps and lenght so easily…

Sure, if you can distribute gates evenly across a number of steps in your head. I'd imagine most would require a lookup of Euclidian rhythms to do this, or an online widget that you can punch the numbers into. Speaking of, does anyone know of one?

[James_S]

More than 16 steps in Scenes is my main wish!!

[Vanden92]

More than 16 steps in Stages is my main wish!!

Sorry, James, what do you mean by that exactly?
