I've made some patterns in promidi so that I could insert them into a track multiple times, but I'm getting some problems. Quantization on both track and pattern is set to 1/8.

If I do:

arptrack.addPattern(verseArpPattern, 0);

then everything works fine. If, however, I do:

arptrack.addPattern(verseArpPattern, 8);

then things start getting screwy. The pattern is inserted in the track at 1 bar from the start, but the first bar of the pattern is missing. To make things clearer:

example pattern (where each letter represents one bar):
myPattern = A B C D E D C B


doing:
myTrack.addPattern(myPattern, 0);
gives:
myTrack = A B C D E D C B


doing:
myTrack.addPattern(myPattern, 8);
gives:
myTrack = - B C D E D C B


doing:
myTrack.addPattern(myPattern, 32);
gives:
myTrack = - - - - E D C B


Basically, it seems to be inserting the pattern at the right point (ie X steps in), but the start of the pattern insertion is moved X steps, too. Anyone else experienced this? Its a pain because it means that patterns cannot be used for what they are described as :/
