Analog Four MK 2 + Peak Questions and your Tips & Tricks

Hi, hoping folks with this setup can help me past some challenges. I am using FX Track for sequencing my Novation Peak, with Audio routed back to Analog Four MK2:

With not being able to use the Analog Four MK2’s Arp, I’d like to use the Novation Peak’s Arp. But I noticed once I stop the sequence, the Novation Peak just keeps playing the sequence. Is there any way to stop the ARP on Novation Peak? Only way I found is to change the patch. I tried setting note length on trigs. This also seems to occur for any long sustain patches
I noticed I can’t use the A4’s onboard keyboard, nor can I preview the entered note by holding the trig & pressing yes. Is there a way to enable that, or is that one of the MIDI limitations of A4?
Has anyone tried using something like MIDIHUB or Soma Metaconformer in between?
Any other tips/tricks folks discovered? This seems like a combo that makes it appearance more often than others.

Whoops - noticed that the condition of note not being shut off was when my patches had a “Key Latch” engaged. So first question is answered.

Using A4s minikeys is possible. You have to enable „send midi“ from your track. Thats under Func+Note at the very bottom.

That’s great to hear that it should work!! At the moment however, it doesn’t appear to be working for me. I tried switching to CV track, have it enabled, and when playing it don’t hear the sound. What’s interesting is that I can record notes using the mini keyboard (no sound when playing / recording, but I see trigs & can hear sound on playback. Hoping I’m just missing something?

Have you set: global->midi config->port config->output channel = track?
