No. Don’t need midi loopback for macros.
I understood that!

Yes, what are the advantages?

Advantages :
-
You can layer 2 more tracks (FX and CV) to other tracks. Different from FILL, it can add notes, up to 4. Trig conditions being usable, you can make chords variations.
-
You don’t have to go to MULTI MAP page to play / record sounds. Just set a track on Perf midi channel. Similarly, you can add 2 more tracks. Trig Conditions, including NEI to reduce voices.
-
With regular TRANSPOSE, you can’t transpose soundlocks, MULTI MAP. You can transpose midi tracks, hence transpose MULTI MAP notes plays by a midi track. Possible to disable transpose from certain tracks.
-
You can use MULTI MAP to transpose. A track can be use for that purpose. Trig Conditions can add variations. Use scale to stay in the scale.
-
@Ryan quote : You can have a variety of up to three different different musical patterns for a single track without sacrificing voices. Or! If you’re using all four voices at once- you have have 5/6 different chord sequences FOR A SINGLE PATTERN!

With a midi processor : automate Perf Macros

This is fun stuff.
I experimented with using the fx track as an alternate note source for track 4, but i’ll likely turn this off in the future as i’ve already got an OT midi track dedicated as an alternative sequencer for each of my four A4 tracks (Two sequences per voice is plenty 
).
Also set up the CV track as a “transposition” track using multimap. In the end i think i’ll leave transposition to manual control. Also i’m not exactly sure how the transposition function works with scale on.
The manual says you can use multimap to trigger sound pool sounds AND +drive sounds, but unfortunately i think that was a mistake.
The most fun A4 loopback technique, which i was doing prior to this update and will keep in my system is a control-all ”global”, very useful for all the drum stuff i do as well as laying a ton of plocks in just a few seconds with live record.

Thanks. I think default is 6 on my MKI but anyway I changed it to 8. Now it is working, I don’t why it wasn’t before.

Nice drum synthesis ?! <3
Yea that’s very significant. There have been times I’ve wanted a fill of just a single note’s tuning changed. Awesome. Thanks!

Thanks for the tips!
I am confused by the above. If you care to elaborate, that would be swell.
I tried the other tips, and they work.
In Multi Map you can assign Patterns to notes, with transpose possibilities. If you set the same pattern (Patt Inc =0) with Transpose (+1), you get chromatic transposition from midi notes.

Possible to send sequenced CCs with A4/AR/AR! 
With midi loopback : Automation of Perf Macros! Should work with AR Scenes / Perf.
Midi processor required, hoping Elektron improves their new very limited midi sequencers!
With a midi processor, possible to map any note to a corresponding Control Change, velocity being mapped to the CC value.
So it is possible to send any CC with plocked value. Live recording, plocks, or free (you can erase velocity plocks).

Curious, does this mean that the Digitone OS 1.21 has Sequencer MIDI Out too? Or would it suggest that it may be a possibility in a future OS update?
Thank you for nice tips !!

Wrong topic?
Of course Digitone has a midi sequencer with midi out! I don’t see the relation.

Example 2, still smartphone audio quality…
FX track controls Multi Map
CV track adds 1 voice to track 1.
At 2m35s, Multi Map transposed example.

Hi,
I’m very curious about that, does it mean that you can plock 10 CC values and record them in a DAW with the midi notes of the sequencer ? Like the Digitakt ? If yes, how do you set that up ? That would be awesome because, if I’m not mistaken, you can’t do that with the A4, you can just record Midi notes on/off and velocity.
Ok so to answer my own question, maybe it’ll be useful to other people, this video by loopop explains how you can do it, except you don’t use the midi keyboard : The Art of MIDI Hacking: Extend your gear (converting Analog Four to a "Paraphonic A8") - YouTube
I’ve not tried it for now, but controlling softsynths with plocks, especially with parameters slides, might be interesting.
