So, I have a second problem now. When in pattern view, there is at the top the words "Pattern Editor [00: Untitled]" and you can switch to "Pattern Editor [01]" for example. The problem is when I switch from the default of 00 to any other one, I get no audio once it reaches the point where the track switches to 01 (or 02 or whatever). I downloaded a complete project in .psy form to look at and try to figure it out, but I have no idea. I don't want to give up on this after only 2 days, but I am already getting very frustrated with the program. I know it has great potential since I've already heard a lot of great music made with it, please help me out here (yes, I know I sound like a whiny little baby, but that's almost the way I feel at this point).

I know what you are describing, but now what you are doing or what you want to achieve.

You have the sequence, where you indicate the patterns that play, and you have the pattern themselves.

The number you talk about is the pattern number. if the pattern has data, it has to play.
Also... you talk about tracks.... the only thing that can make psycle not make sound on a concrete track, is that the machine thinks that something is already playing there, or that all voices are playing. I doubt this is the case.

If you still have this problem, try to be more specific. I am sure it is not that difficult to find out what happens.

I'm having more problems. ;_;
http://psycle.pastnotecut.org/thread.php?threadid=601&boardid=3&styleid=&page=1#1 <---please comment if you have any help.
I'm basically totally helpless with this program. I'm finding it a lot harder to use that I thought I woudl for some reason.
Ok, every few minutes, while Psycle is open, I get a little Psycle pop up that says "Error Creating File" what's the deal with that?

Hi there,

Its probably the autosave, check that the directories are setup properly in the menu "configuration/settings/directories" - any more problems try asking in GMT hours!

Thanks for all the help, I managed to figure it out last night. It was just another n00bish mistake. I will try to figure it out on my own before asking questions and begging so desperately for help. Hopefully, I won't develop a reputation as an annoying newbie. Thanks again for the help. I'm finally starting to get a feel for the program and I'm starting to really like it.

EDIT: BTW, the problem was with the Ln value.

I wonder what would have happened if the sequence had all 128values like previous versions... ;·)

I have no idea what you're meaning. hmm. well..

Well, so then here there is a good one (question):

Why in the tutorial there is so little reference to how create a composition in the Pattern layout?
There is only a faint mention saying that in the keyboard are Two notes (presumably that we can use) and it does not specify WHICH are they. How can I find any more
notes in the keyboard, or better, how can I introduce in these nice rows any note at all or instruments or anything that sounds?

And last question, is there any support at all in the Forum for people with similar problems than mine?

If someone out there can help me it would be really cool, Thanks!

Which tutorial are you referring to?

My quick dodgy one in the help file, or the "Up We Go" tutorial ?

Have a look in the help file for the keyboard layout (in the Help File menu, go to The Interface > Keyboard Commands and scroll right to the bottom. There you will see how the notes names match up with the keyboard.

The "Record" button is intended for real-time recording - i.e. you click it, specify a filename, and start fiddling around with machines etc, and then click "Stop" when you're done.

To render your track to wav (i.e. render your patterns as they are shown in the sequencer sidebar), click "Save as Audio File" or go to File > Render as Wav.... It will open a dialog box where you can specify a file name + some other options.

I'm not too sure about Zyn, I haven't used it since the VST version was still beta and didn't work very well. Anyway, set up your synth sound in Zyn, and then record your notes in patterns - I suggest you re-read the help file and those tutorials. I'm not sure how much music you've been involved with before, but patterns in trackers are like a vertical musical stave, where the note name and octave is displayed as text instead of a position, and the rhythm is mapped out vertically, downwards.

Btw, I'm planning to produce some Psycle video tutorials and put them on Google video or something soon, so hopefully they might help you too.

No idea what software (I've had a few suggestions), but a friend of mine is doing some FL tutorials for samplereactor.com, and I watched one and it was very informative, so I thought I'd try and do the same for Psycle.

ksn, I'll probably just put them on google video or somewhere like that - not sure how good the quality would be, but i'll look into it.
