Another Question From a New User

[MoogCloud]

Thanks to Thomas for giving the the clue about creating the project so I could save my patterns!

Now, I'm trying to write music into a Pattern.

Note     Trigger
C-3         92        8th note
D-3         92        8th
E-3         92        8th
F-3         68        quarter note

Why these weird trigger values? Well, I was trying to calculate duration for the notes. Not realizing that my values would "RE-TRIGGER" I was thinking these would give me the durations of the notes. I wrote 34 notes into the pattern, and played it and realized that I was not getting DURATION, I was getting "RE-TRIGGERS" which DID equal the increased length of the note, but re triggering is obviously not the best way to increase the duration of the notes.
The song is very simple, it only contains 8th notes, quarter notes, half notes, dotted quarter notes, dotted half notes, and sixteenth notes. 

So my question is:  How do I get clean non retriggered duration differences that correspond to different note lengths?
Thanks!

First trig number is for length, second number is for repetition.. 10 is very short trig, 90 it’s a longer trig, 93 it’s longer trig repeated 3 times..

If you want to have defined notelength you don't use triggers but gates.
Triggers are indeed for short triggers and in your case you do re-triggers. ( 3 x 45 milliseconds in your case)

For notes (with gates) you have (at least) 2 options:
Through the note column if autogate is enabled. Then with a note the gate is automatically set and with a note off the gate is reset.
It would look like this:
Quart Note:
C-4
[ ]            <-  Note Off
---
--

Half note:
C-4
---
[ ]
--

Full Note:
C-4
---
---
---

Or without autogate you can use the trigger column and you use a trigger value with FE where the notes are (for Gate on) and 00 where the note off are. You don't need the note off commands then.

For higher resolutions you would need to prepare the patterns in a different way with the groove or easier use the double speed which doubles the resolution.

Hi Thomas!
Thanks again for the solution and the explanation. I was able to input the complete song on two consecutively run patterns and it sounds like I had hoped. I was also able to use 00 for note off in circumstances when the same note was played in succession. That way it was two distinct notes as opposed to one long note.

What an amazing sequencer!
