And less than six? To change loop length and position you have to press the first modifier button (from the group of three in bottom row) which corresponds to Loop and while holding press the two buttons to determine begin and end of the loop.

Edit: if this is what you were missing, make sure to check the docs. This is explained under Modifiers.

Thank you for the help! Yes, I looked through the docs again and found it (must’ve overlooked or been slow) :slight_smile:

This feels like a whole new instrument to me now. Funny how seeing something explained can have so much more of an impact sometimes than reading it. Here’s some mangroves and w/syns sequenced by Kria. Thanks again @Puscha!

Sounds great! I really like the melodic and harmonic movement. Feeling stoked to have helped you discover something more in your instrument! :heavy_heart_exclamation:

Don’t feel bad, I had this same problem when I first got my Grid & Ansible. I was convinced that Kria was a 6 step sequencer for a couple days until I actually read the docs in depth. Lol.

Thanks @Puscha for this tutorial, I’ve been watching it almost from week to week eheheh as I’m waiting to Ansible (and Norns) to be back in stock to use Kria with my modular. I’ve bought a Grid in October and I’ve found a White Whale module by 2nd hand just a couple of week before, to use the combo with my eurorack and I like it, but I miss something like ratcheting and the pulse width xstep (is Kria capable of doing these two options right?)

I have a couple of further questions, as I use my sequencers for more than only one purpose:
I like to record generative sequence melodies using my modular oscillators to re-use them with my ER301 granulators, or I use my sequencers to sequence pre-recorded analog drum sample slices on ER301 too. So the question is, as the Ansible/Kria seems so nice for generative melodic sequencing, anyone use it to generate IDMish drum events with satisfaction?
I’ll use it for this purpose for sure as soon as I’ll put my hands on it, but I wold love to hear your thoughts!
Thanks :pray:

Yes kria can do both of those! You can create ratchet patterns too, where you can choose how many ratchet per step as well as skip ratchets. Pulse width can be set for each step individually too.

I’ve never really tried it, but using a combination of more complex ratchet patterns, probability, random or drunk settings for sequence direction, different parameters with different clock divisions and loop lengths, and using something that can reset it at random, you could do some really fun glitchy, complex IDM type percussive and melodic sequences.

Thank you for this tutorial, it’s super super helpful! I just got an Ansible and Grid and i’m digging in to Kria now. One thing that puzzles me, and maybe I overlooked this in the tutorial is how to get all 4 tracks stepping in sync with one another after changing the loop length to something else on one track and then back to the same loop length as all the other tracks. I’m probably missing something really obvious but I couldn’t find a way to do it.

The way that I’ve done this before (there may be a better way) is send a trigger into Ansible input 2. This resets all lanes back to step 1.

So that is effectively resetting the clock on the module right?

I know this post wasn’t answering a question I asked, but I’d somehow missed this piece of the puzzle. I’ve just had the best Kria session ever this evening through knowing this. Thanks!

From the pattern selection page I think you can hit the button for the current pattern to start it again with everything realigned.

Great tutorial @Puscha but something to note that the second column on the scale page is not ratcheting behavior but it is “trigger clocking” and it has to do with gates on the gate page and ratcheting gates. Any time there is a gate it will advance the note so its a combination or only using gates on the gate page or using gates with ratcheting.

“The next column over has track toggles for enabling trigger clocking. When trigger clocking is enabled, parameters besides trigger and ratchet will advance when a trigger fires, instead of on each clock step. This includes individual triggers within a ratchet group, so you can have a triplet quickly change the active note several times within the space of a single trigger step.”

This is easy noticeable when you have all the settings off in the config pages and you have different loop points for notes and gates.

Amazing tutorial @Puscha, got me up and running in no time! :raised_hands:

Is there any way of having scales with more than 7 notes?

You’re right! Thank you for pointing that out. This is an important distinction, too.

#51

Unfortunately not! Though you can change the notes in the scales live very quickly, as well as between the different scale presets. You could also use meta-sequence to change between patterns that could each have different scales selected to increase your notes.

That second options seems very promising… I am going to give it a try!

Concerning scales, is there a kind of cheat sheet “à la” Make Noise René somewhere ?

There’s this

Which needs to be updated I guess because you need to ignore the top row in this PDF but it’s workable. I might update it myself at some point when I have some free time to do so.
