Works for me. Maybe chromatic mode got disabled at some point?

Great update!
My analog MK 2 duo became the control center of my all devices, hope midi function could be enforceable in the future update parameter lock could be midi CC lock

Don’t suppose they have added arpeggiator param locks in this release?
Arp parameter locking is not implemented

Has anyone used midi out sequences in multimap mode for AK/A4? I got an AK but haven’t looked at this yet, hoping it should work?
Coolio! I was hoping that it will work with basic set-up also, i.e. “init.trig” in the multimap set up page?
I’m not sure what you are ultimately desiring, but if you are asking if you can launch MIDI ‘clips’ direct from the Keys (without hacks) then you can do so whilst in MultiMap Edit - you can trigger patterns from the keys as before but this will now include the MIDI output (if any) assigned to those tracks

Ta, not exactly sure yet 
but it does appear to offer up a mad amount of possibilities, which is nice!
Triggering patterns mapped on the keys assigned to external gear sounds great. But just having the keyboard split between internal tracks / external gear via midi, was my initial query. Maybe assigning a couple of percussive hits for finger drumming also – sweet.
Its mind blowing for me to be honest, my brain just thought this looks like a great solution for playing live. The midi looping concept looks amazebobs – if I ever get my head around it!!
shame - it’s on octatrack - but i think would be better on real analog
It was already possible. If you want to sequence Muti Map with an A4/AK midi track, you need midi loopback.
Okay ta, does this mean I need to connect MIDI in to MIDI out with same cable , then use the USB as an out for sequencing external gear?
Sorry bud, just reading your link/ post now - my questions are answered.
Nice One!

Yeah, this is pretty lame. Otherwise the update is great. Pattern bpm is a big deal.
You can’t use an external keyboard to audition live a mono synth connected via midi on the other end of device. You can only use internal pads or keyboard or recorded sequence to audition. So no live auditioning with external keyboard with an external voice. Even though with external keyboard you can live audition internal voice associated with midi channel out.
Unless you mirror the channel from keyboard with midi thru box, then switch port/cable to the elektron device once ready to playback sequence.
Hopefully this is changed so devices (Rytm in my case) can be used with external keyboard without having to resort to annoying workarounds.
Pads or one octave keyboard are not too useful for proper melodies.

You can use midi Thru, which sends back midi in, hence midi out with the loopback.

Hi there,
When I want to control an external synth via midi it will only let me play on the a4’s mini keys, then I hear the synth play. When I put in trigs, the sequence doesn’t play.
I remember vaguely having seen this issue talked about here. I have to add that in another project it works fine, but suddenly I can’t seem to find the problem. Could it be that I’m also using CV out on some (other) channels that this is messing things up?
It has been confirmed and reported. Now we wait.
edit - misread this. Sounds like the Track MIDI out is not enabled, Fn+Note (SEND MIDI) - thought external meant external midi in (known issue)

Possibly wrong midi channel setting.
Mini keyboard can send midi with Auto channel or track channel, tracks with their track channel only.
You also have to check SEND MIDI in NOTE SETUP.
In GLOBAL > MIDI PORT CONFIG I’d set OUTPUT CH channel to TRK CH, and set the external synth on the same midi channel.

Thank you, I will check this all out. 
This did the trick, thanks!
