Is your hand really tiny or is your iphone actually an ipad

@pacomacman There is of course a way to hold one or two notes indefinitely during the song, but you have to do it as you are recording to file - if your able to.

[JoeHensson]

@pacomacman Come to think of it, to me it seems best to use both the Gate-time and Note-Length Options. Currently the default gate-time is 250ms right? I imagine the gate-time Feature could correspond with the note length. In default mode it would always stay the same, but the max value would vary. So for example: whole notes could go up to say 16 secs but for sixteenth it would only be up to one second and so on. Does that sound practicable?

[JoeHensson]

@pacomacman: Break length is indeed not very good, loop speed sounds great. :-)

Concerning the length, I believe anything that would allow those awesome synth and pad-synth sounds to be played up to 20 secs would be great. Can't wait to see (hear) that...

[pacomacman]

@JoeHensson You are technically correct Joe, possibly 'loop speed' would have been better which is what I believe the Tenori-On uses as I'm not sure people would get their heads around 'break length'.

I can see an option to hold the notes as long as the note length coming in useful here, or maybe a longer gate time would be more appropriate?

[JoeHensson]

@pacomacman Yeah I do see what you mean.But even though it be a bit more challenging to work with long notes in this manner, having the option of doing so will open up tremendous possibilities in Aurora.

Also,I believe the name of the "Note Length" option is a bit misleading. For example a whole note is played for a whole measure.What Aurora does is play the note very shortly and then wait until the measure is over and then play the next note.So rather it should be something like "break length"?

[pacomacman]

@JoeHensson I know what you mean but its quite unusual for a pattern based sequencer to hold notes, it's more like something you would expect from a linear sequencer like Cubase or Logic etc. If notes were to linger on too long it would be difficult to move to blocks on different chords or keys without it sounding a mess. The key to Aurora is wise use of the Note Length feature to obtain longer more interesting patterns.
