Ableton Program Change (pattern change) only sequential

Hey there, sorry for pushing an old thread up again, but I was struggling with the exact same issue for weeks…thanks to dergit, I got on the right track again and found the perfect solution for this issue.

  1. In Ableton, use PGM Change clips with Launch Mode “Trigger” and Clip Quantization set to “none”. Pgm 1-16 will trigger Pattern A1-A16 on the Analog Rytm, 17 onwards will trigger Pattern B1 etc.

  2. On the Analog Rytm, leave the pattern jump behavior at the default (sequential, meaning the LED under the “Bank Group/Direct Change” button is off)

  3. In advanced mode, set the pgm change length for the AR not to 2 as suggested, but to 16! This is the perfect value. It makes the AR wait exactly until the current page has ended to switch patterns, and it was always in perfect sync everytime I tested it. Et voila! :smiley:
