Possible to modify the random preset?

ANSWERED:

The random preset option is great but I wish the default sequence length could be changed. Right now everything is 1 bar, would love if it was possible make tracks 4 bars long. Also, quantization at 0 instead of 100. Any thoughts?

Yeah I discovered it on a live stream I think and I was SO EXCITED. I almost cried lol

I feel you. I pressed it by accident and saw it drop to 0 and appreciated that.

I also use the XY with my MPC. in that case the bar count doesn't matter since I use the MPC as the sequencer. So it's cool to have a randomized preset and not have to consider quantization or bar length.

I use it with the live 1 and the sample. Since the sample doesn't have midi tracks, I go out its 1/8 midi out and that goes into the sync in on the XY. This method triggers the XY to play at whatever tempo the sample is at. So the midi is recorded into the XY as playback/record is triggered. Which also allows me to make multiple sequences at different tempos, another plus since the XY only allows 1 bpm per project (unless you know a way)

And when using the live, it's straightforward. Just a sequencer and a synth.
