At 6:54 You can copy chain 20 from row 0 and paste to row 1 then hilight the cloned phrase on 1 and hold shift opt then edit. This will update your phase # while keeping the data from the original copy. Thanks for your vid, great tip!

[@Jay_Maculate]

@@liqwidbpm thanks! Yep someone mentioned that earlier, such a great shortcut!

[@dmks2146]

micro timing would be so lovely to have on the m8. there's other workarounds that involves tables but I was always too lazy to set it up. btw you can clone phrases and chains in various ways. it takes what's inside it and assigns a new number. a timesaver for variations.

[@Jay_Maculate]

@@dmks2146 definitely! Good tip on the cloning shortcut too, thanks! I found out that its activated from the chain page by highlighting the phrase, then holding down shift, then pressing option, then while still holding down shift, pressing edit. Such a timesaver, thanks again!

man u dropping gems . this what i do kinda on psp .

[@Jay_Maculate]

@@darealdibiase_ heck yeah! I've used this trick on so many samplers haha

[@minimal3734]

Why no caps on the keys?

[@Jay_Maculate]

@@minimal3734 i find it easier to slide into my pocket without the caps. I've been meaning to shop around for some low profile ones tho, it does feel a little strange without em lol

[@lebronsinclair8012]

What theme are you using on your M8?

[@Jay_Maculate]

@@lebronsinclair8012 it's called casualdj - it's one of themes that comes with the m8

[@ukbloke28]

I’m really interested in M8 as a portable option to add to my digitakt setup but gosh this seems like a lot of work to do something relatively basic?

[@Jay_Maculate]

@@ukbloke28 yeah it doesnt have microtiming settings, so either you work on the grid or you employ workarounds like this. The portability is hard to beat, but it can be a bit quirky depending on what genre of music you make
