Where are the patterns saved?

[alexander]

Guys, I'd like to know - are the programmed patterns saved to a memory card?

E.g. I have a half of my songs on one card and another half - on another one. Songs consist of patterns (maybe long ones) consisting of samples recorded on a card. Will each card have its own patterns the same way it contains samples? Or are patterns saved on 404, and in case of changing cards it will start play smth strange when pattern mode is chosen?

I know on SX, yes patterns are saved to card because there's no internal memory on SX. There's a folder called PAT which is where they're kept. AFAIK, they're not standard midi files or anything, so good luck doing anything with them.

you can store patterns on the card and internal banks on the og.

when you have patterns on the internal banks but it is using files from the card, and you switch cards, and play the internal patterns, it will play awsome random glitch music.


sort of unrelated

you could do something like this to get drum patterns from the 404 into a midi file or pattern
