The Default Playlists
When you wipe the entire memory of a P3, or use the bank init function to clear a single bank, every
part gets a set of default playlists that mean you can use P3 without really having to go into playlist
edit at all.
Let’s look at the default playlist in each part of an initialised P3 bank :
•
The playlist length is 1
•
Playlist step 1 has:
o
a pattern number equal to the part number
o
a repeats value of 1
o
a transpose value of 0
o
a sync value of Ptrn
So, let’s say you select part 4 in an initialised bank:
•
The playlist on every track has a length of 1 step , therefore playlist step 1 will repeat for as
long as that part is selected
• Playlist step 1 on every track says, “play pattern number 4 “
Transpose and sync default values have no effect here, so you can ignore them for now.
In an initialised bank :
• if you select part 1 , then pattern 1 plays on every track
• if you select part 2 , then pattern 2 plays on every track
•
if you select part 3 , then pattern 3 plays on every track
…and so on.
To a certain extent, the default playlists mean you can treat parts as if they were just multi-track
patterns .
This idea only breaks down if you use the part-copy functions, but more of that later.
Important Note On Memory Organisation:
In this chapter it is assumed that you are using P3 in the standard 6 bank, or alternative 12 bank
memory configurations. Since there are only 4 patterns per track in 12 bank mode, the default playlists
repeat patterns 1 to 4 in the playlists for parts 5 to 8.
For the 3 bank mode, with 16 patterns per track, playlist edit behaves in a slightly different manner for
pattern selection. These differences are explained in the Appendix – Memory Organisation.
