Adding more buttons in a combinator
Hi does anyone know of a way to assign more buttons inside a combinator to control modulation routing?
For example I am using a rack extension called trance gate from kilohearts which has 8 patterns and 7 resolutions. I assign combinator buttons to control 2 of these at once eg.
triplet 8th notes and pattern 4, when I click button 1
16 notes and pattern 5 when I click button 2
etc...
but there are 7 patterns and only 4 buttons. Is there a device that will allow me to extend the number of buttons that can control multiple parameters? I am trying to create a live music rig with maximum rhythmic flexibility.
Thanks

This can probably help you. Maybe trigger the gate via KONG or something.

Yeah you can go to town with Hamu's Mod Panels. Put one inside a Combinator and use the Combi matrix to assign the Mod Panel knobs to your other devices (put them in the Combinator too). Then you can label each knob on the Mod Panel. Let me know if you want me to explain better.
You can also use CV with each knob / slider / button on its back panel, works just as well just depends on your set up.
Here's the '12 CV' version: https://www.propellerheads.com/shop/rac ... rol-board/
And here's the rest of the Hamu gear, all free thanks to the late Hakan Muller: https://www.propellerheads.com/shop/bro ... loper=Hamu
Any chance you could upload a demo combinator with this set up? TIA!Jagwah wrote: ↑09 Aug 2019Yeah you can go to town with Hamu's Mod Panels.

For sure, I haven't used them in a while and I don't think I explained very well or even correctly here. I'll get something set up better and post here later.dpcoffin wrote: ↑12 Aug 2019Any chance you could upload a demo combinator with this set up? TIA!Jagwah wrote: ↑09 Aug 2019

Personally I would look at adding 2 CV8x4's and a Select CV switch. This will give you 8 combinations, there is nothing stopping you adding more CV8x4's and Select CV switches to build a bank up of all combinations.
In this combinator CV1 is Pattern and CV2 is Resolution, The CV8x4's will need to be dialed in.

I've updated the patch as a working example using the Note Echo player.
By selecting the different buttons on the Select CV switch it switches the Repeats and Pitch (in the case of the OP this can be the Pattern and Resolution)
Main benefit over all, it only takes up 2 CV ports, leaving the existing Buttons (and knobs) available on the combinator.
Main advantage over the Hamu is just by looking at the Select CV Switch you know what pattern you have selected (the Hamu got a little confusing as the button could be selected or not for the same condition).
You can easily stack 4 Select CV switches using this method to give a total of 32 patterns.
With a bit of wiring you could extend this to 64 and above patterns (off the top of my head).

It's doing this sort of thing.
Perfect, thank you; you're a Reason Treasure:)
Ashamed to say I THOUGHT I'd looked at all the Comb. Programmer lanes but for who knows what reason, I'd actually missed clicking on the Default one!
