Editing songs in Studio.

[riche]

I am strugelling to create a song in EDIT mode.

I am keen to use my Pattern sets as a starting point.
I have MultiMute set in my Pattern Sets and would like to utilize them.
So effectively my Pattern Sets could have 2 usable parts to a song arrangement ...

I am confused how-to edit the song - I see a colour change to Pattern Set when I try edit and dont really see what it does.

Ok so I asked Google AI - it tells me this:

Pre-Set in Patterns: If you want a specific "Multi Mute" state (a group of tracks muted/unmuted) at a certain point in your song, you must save that mute state into a specific pattern slot.

... So i presume the "Multi Mute" I have set up on a pattern will only use the mute status the pattern is set to when pattern set was saved.
I was sorta hoping I could use the Multi Mute switch the pattern has to as a way of building arrangement witout having to save each track mute settings to a pattern - which is what i do when using the Pattern Sets live - this would allow less patterns to be saved as each pattern has 2 mute settings when using the MultiMute button...

Not sure if I am making this clear enough ...

I have looked at the uTube stuff like Basic Tutorial / Overview, G-Stomper Studio 4.1- it does help thanks.
Also on the forum this helped a bit: Getting started with Song Arrangements in G-Stomper Studio: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=374

I suppose I must just save each part of arrangement to its own pattern - and not use the multi mute for song arangement really

Anyway ... when fiddeling with the song edit mode i see the colour block around pattern chosen changes colour (when fiddeling ... LOL) what do the colours indicate ?

You can use the multi-mute for that.
But you must know that the multi-mite setup is stored per pattern.
Assuming you have a few patterns with multi-mute setup in your set.
If you want to have variations of that pattern in different slots of the set, then you must copy the pattern to these slots first.
Then you can change the multi-mute state or config per pattern slot, which will not affect the others.

Generally yes. But this doesn't mean that you cannot use the multi-mute to speed things up or to make things easier for your preferred workflow.
A song arrangement in GSS is a chain of different patterns. The difference between these patterns is your choice. Can be mutes, different sequences, tempo, instruments, or whatever.
But the song player doesn't do more than running the pattern chain.
