Coloring clips in the groove matrix?

Is it possible to chage the colors of the seperate clips in the groove matrix, to get a more "grouped" overview. It seems coloring is now random?

didn't somebody just keep duplicating a pattern till they got the color they wanted?

if you choose to follow that method be sure to wipe the unused patterns from your project file before saving.

I haven't even noticed -- is the color selection in a fixed sequence or is it random?
How many colors?

Any favorite colors?
When color selection is available, shouldn't we have certain color schemes available per track or device chain type type. That would be ideal -- all drum tracks within a range of orange/red. Pads within blue/green, etc.

I'll bet somebody can tell us that other hosts do this already and we don't know what we're missing.

It's fixed, I believe.

Yes it is. Available in 15 brilliant colors (with a selected pattern color variation for each). Favorites? Numbers 4, 5, 9, and 15 in the sequence: deep red, blue, purple, & orange. Turnoffs? Those brown, army fatigue green, & fuschia ones [#7, #13, and #14]. I really don't care for the fact that the selected patterns become darker shades, either, but what'cha gonna do? Last I remember this was a synth workstation; not a graphics program. j/k

If you really want to fix the sequence, edit the Project5.ini file line UsePatColors=1, and change it to 0. You'll get the #4 Red pattern every time. Then put on some rose-colored glasses, and your mix will appear much better than before. It'll even sound better than it did before. Oh, and don't bother using other non-zero values in the Project5.ini line. The sequence still remains the same, unless you enter an extremely accurate value of pi.

Edit: Actually, I originally posted a 16-color sequence, but loading sixteen patterns cycles back to the beginning of the sequence again. So it's 15 distinct colors, plus the variation for each. Perhaps the 16th bit is the flag for selected/unselected variations. And, yes, I did take the time to map this out. OCD strikes again.

I think SOANR 4 lets you pick... Mebbe not -- I do't use it very often.

The thing is that Sonar 4 has them, but don't use them there. Her in the Groove matrix i think it would be nice when using it in a live situation. The more I think/use Project5 the less I found it a solution for live use. and it's not about coloring

Yeah I know what your talking about. I was thinking about using colored clips. Green for drums, blue for basses etc. Use same colored stickers on my keyboard with the names the same as my clip names and trigger them. Also have some groove tracks triggerd is a good option. Besides that I want to assign some assugn some faders of my peavey1600x to filters )filter/resonance) of instrument 1 till 3want to trigger. Name them instrument 1 till 3 so I can see in Project which they are )Oscar/Pro5/and synthX. These canbe different on each song, as long as they called indtrument 1-3 i know which is going to be triggered by the faders.
One thing that is still on my mind is how the hell I could have one song sound the same in levels as the other, adjusting quicly the kick because it is less louder is a pain. Have to click to much and another thing is how to go from one song to the other witohut having "silence" Maybe running a stand alone softsampler in the background is an option

are you saying you have all your songs in 1 project 5?
I first set project up using triggering clips, there fore i wanted different colors. now i am expermenting using triggering of complete lans. where predefinied sets are in. i have on my peavey controller 16 faders and 16 knobs. i hope i have enough knobs (16) to have all my lanes triggeriged by this. otherwise i need to use my keyboard insteds. how many do you use as an avarage?
