Base a block on another block

[mashers]

In a scenario where I add clips to Block 1, can I configure Block 2 to be based on Block 1, so that Block 1's clips will show up ghosted in Block 2, and I can add clips over the top in Block 2 to override these, like in song mode?

nope

Damn. That would be an amazing feature if you could.

imagine if clips worked like blocks.

I reckon being able to stack blocks would be awesome.

This would work too. Have your “base” block, then stack another one on top, which would override clips on the same sequencer lanes, and the resulting clips would all be shown ghosted on the sequencer. This would make blocks considerably more powerful.

I've never really got on with blocks and I can't quite say why. It feels like I spend more time with them than I save. I don't think I need to stack one block on another to get that override thing but I could definitely use a second lane of blocks so I could keep the drums/perc separate from the tuned instruments.

But then that might make it too complicated!

Yep, thats the way it suppose to work, you simply set the base block and modify it "on the fly" with normal lanes or clips.

That's what I do, and draw blank clips over sections I want muted. But I think OP wanted a way to draw a block over another block, so the overlapping parts would be played by the block that was put on top, and the remaining parts would play as usual. Personally I'd love to have multiple lanes for blocks. Would be cool for live looping as well.
