How would I use a midi foot controller to trigger different patterns on analog 4

Elektron Gear Analog Keys/Four

Hello good people,

My big plan was to trigger scenes in ableton live 9 via a keith mcmillen 12 step while using midi clips in the scenes to produce sound from the analog 4. It works great.

I was hoping to use overbridge to change the sounds on the analog 4.
That also works well.

The Problem: Playing Live.
What doesn’t work well is loading a new song in ableton because overbridge has to sync settings and sometimes takes many minutes to do so. Sometimes freezes. Not a good idea live.

Work arounds?

  1. Disable overbridge then just load a new corresponding project on the analog 4 manually?

  2. Program changes?

3. Forget the computer altogether and trigger patterns with a midi foot controller. ( I do not know how to do this)

I love the analog 4 sequencer and would love to ditch the computer

…but I need my hands free to play guitar.

Any Ideas?
