Mapping Discussion

[rubberband]

Hey guys - Maybe someone here can point me in the direction of what I want to do.

I have an external sequencer wired to CV 1 and CV 2 in for pitch and gate respectively. They are mapped onto CV1 TR1 no problem..

What if I just want this to be active for some patterns? I know I can execute a mapping row from the patterns, but I can't wrap my head around turning on and off those two mapping lines. I assume it must be something like SKIP two lines unless something is true that I can set from the patterns, but can I set something from the patterns that aren't also executed normally?

You are indeed very close to what you need to do (or could do, they are most probably multiple ways).
You ‘wrap’ your mapping around a skip. And the skip could be like skip x rows if variable A is not 0. And in 2 other rows you change variableA to 1 and to 0.

00 SKIP   03 =   VA=0    Skips 3 rows if variable A is 0
01 …
02 … your stuff
03 …
04 SKIP  02 =    =0=0    Always skip 2 rows.
05 VAR RW05  #000  >      SETV  VA  SRC    Set row to 0 and pass to variable A
06 VAR RW06  #001  >      SETV  VA  SRC    Set row to 1 and pass to variable A

You would execute one of these 2 rows from your pattern then via XMAP which enables or disables the stuff within the skip

Thanks for the reply! That's exactly what I ended up doing - What was eluding me was having to put the variable definitions at the end and having them always be skipped, which totally makes sense.

Did this work out for you in the end?  I've been trying to implement something similar but ended up settling for using the MOD output of my channel to open/close a VCA in line with the gate and pitch inputs.  When I've used a mapping command to pass whatever's on CV1 to the pitch of a track and CV2 to triggers for a track I get weird results.  How's it going for you?  Can you share the mapping that you have working?
