let me know if you can advance the midi slicer somehow..
I sort of...improved it - replaced the constant modules with a randomisable array:

Something weird happens - every 5th bar the pianorolls record/play simultaneously?!

Also I can't increase slice duration in proportion to the bar duration - slices remain 1 beat long.
How to do that?

Thanks, I will try.
I'll think deeper, although there's a limit to my deepness at the moment that is quite shallow ;)

They are similar, the first link gets to the loop order changing more quickly.

The usage brought me to another question - how to randomize the order so, that only one pianoroll plays at a time?

Right now I used one Random Integer Min/Max Patch for each Pianoroll.
This results in most of the times some pianorolls having the same number, which is nice but sometimes (at the beginning of a recording etc) the option to have them recording/playing consecutively.

try something like this if u like. but do not loose too much time with my quriky patching ideas ;)

just a note: instead of the sync module and the math there, you could also you another sequencer module (eg. if output is C3 -> record on piano roll 1; if output is C4 -> record on piano roll 2) - might be easier.

here a screenshot. did it with isEqual here. for the loop-point-auto is used a counter and a math mod module.

kinda "works". quirky! GUI isnt updated right, notes can be lost or cut..

when I have time I'll try to understand the midi accumulator script, maybe its possible there..

What if:
1) There aren't a fixed number of slices, but they are generated by note on messages.
2) Possibly adjust how many note ons it takes to define a slice.
3) Even if it's just one note per slice, it'd be a little different than simply rearranging the notes end to end, because each slice would contain a note and a pause (if present).

For an example a sequence of notes (_ is a pause):
C _ _ D _ _ E F G _

Could be after rearranging:
D _ _ F C _ _ G _ E


Could be difficult if playing chords.

Just thinking aloud...

tried to automate the loop position, alternatively use multiple piano rolls (or something else that just records and plays midi)?

patching:
1. main piano roll with 4 bar melody
2. 4 piano rolls with 1 bar length, in rewrite mode
3. automate the record button. local sync and a modulo operation turn off and on the 4 piano rolls consecutively

interface:
4. switches for each of the 4 'piano-roll-slices'. if one of the 4 buttons is pressed the midi out from the main piano roll is bypassed
(and probably also change the slice rolls recmode to overdub)

pro:
-> add a noteOn/noteOff detection for the slices (and show a led for each slice state)
-> more recorders for more slices
contra:
-> maybe replace the slicer piano rolls with a lighter midi recorder/player (there is a kewl mid recorder by insert piz here)
-> not a 'generic' method. instantiation of needed piano-roll-slices not in realtime (means: (1) allocate max modules needed, given the main piano roll bar length, and the desired number of slices, (2) no empty piano roll modules)

I thought so too - maybe not a finished patch (and I've taken a look in the add-ons without luck) but at least there's a topic or two along these lines. There seems to something wrong with the search function on the site as only relatively need topics are found - I've notified Olivier about this.

bsork: there was a patch for this??

as bsork points out there is the noteON/noteOFF problem. especially in sparse midi files with long notes its not really fun. did not manage to get good sync too..was too sloppy..

for now I have another approach here: use this idea for step sequencers. works much better and easier. you dont have the freedom of the piano roll thu... (I do it with my doepfer schaltwerk, still sync problems but its a way to follow I guess)

No, not the same notes.
