Controlling OT Arp with MIDI controller

Elektron Gear Octatrack
1

Hey all its been a very long time! Hope this is still active…

I am currently controlling parameters on my OT via a Novation Launchcontrol MK3 and have run into an issue.

I would like to be able to control the ARP MODE of MIDI track 1 but I cannot seem to get it to work.

MIDI track 1 - MIDI Channel 9 - MIDI CC 24 - this should be all the correct chain of events - i have also tried it on the global channel (11) and pretty much any other channel.

I have tried CC Direct Connect both on and off.

Slightly at a loss now - its been a good few years since i delved into my OT so i may be missing somehting obvious but any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks

Requirements:

  • Midi mode
  • CC DIRECT CONNECT OFF
  • use AUTO CHANNEL
  • Midi track channel different from audio tracks channels.
