CC Value for PTN Advance

[PeterHanes]

@rMelvin

Is it possible to have a midi foot switch that could advance to the next pattern?

I didn’t find any CC values for changing the pattern in the manual.

All the Elektron instruments can be set to use MIDI Program Change messages (not Control Change messages) to move to another sequencer pattern.

Many MIDI pedal controllers can be set to transmit individual Program Change messages, but these might not account for what the current pattern is in order to move to the “next” one.

Forum member @Megageoff posted about the Source Audio Soleman pedal, which is programmable enough to know the correct message to send for the next pattern:

Incrementing/decrementing pattern number using sysex

OK,now I understand a little more what you want to do. As far as I can see, you don’t need MIDI SysEx messages at all. All the Elektron instruments allow you to select the next pattern by sending a MIDI Program Change message with a value that matches the pattern that you want to switch to (value 0 = pattern A01, value 1 = pattern A02 etc). I looked at the User’s Guide for the Soleman and saw that its Scene Mode steps through its own programs in sequential order and that you can use the Solema…

As mentioned above, it’s also worth checking out the other pedals discussed on the forum to see what else might be available.
