Having read the manual it seems not poss but wondered if any creative types had figured a workaround....get great to combine the additional sequencing capabilities with regroove without bouncing the sequence to track...any ideas?

That is an interesting question... It should be possible to grab the groove from a grooved midi line, but you cannot change the sequencer from Thor with it, well, AFAIK. If you want to change only the velocities of a grooved midi, then just grab it from a Combinator sequencer midi line, where you have a RPG8 in it. Turn off the RPG8 and grab velocity from the back.

Off the top of my head, this might work:

1. Create another Thor and program a midi clip full of 16th notes. Assign your Regroove pattern to this note lane. This will be the control signal.

2. Make sure Global Envelope gate trigger button is on.

3. At the rear of the controller Thor, route the Global Env CV output to an open CV input on the back of the sound-generating Thor.

4. In your sound-generating Thor, use the mod matrix to route the CV input to STEP SEQ TRIG

5. Put the sequencer in STEP mode.



This should advance your Thor’s sequencer whenever the controller Thor sends a gate signal. You may need to shorten the lengths of the 16th notes in the midi lane and the Global Envelope’s shape to get the impulses discrete enough. I recommend the free CVA utility from Pongasoft to allow you to see the envelope clearly.
