Here are specs for the latest version:
Just contact me if you wanna beta test.
Performer 0.9 beta (Custom Keypads 0.1 alpha.)
Specs.
- All parameters are per snapshot basis except when explicitly indicated.
- The Octatrack Crossfader could be replaced by any custom MIDI controller, gestures may not work as expected. (The Octatrack crossfader is a really fast bad ass crossfader

[/ul]
Autopilot

Map to PGM
Associate any snapshot to a PGM number. When a PGM is received from the selected machine, the associated snapshot will be recalled. Supports Octatrack’s 256 pattern system (2x128)
Direct Recall by MIDI note.
Recall a snapshot by sending a MIDI note from the Octatrack or the custom controller.
Velocity = Pattern
Pitch = Snapshot Number (start point to be defined)
[ul]
[li]Use the Octatrack’s chromatic Keyboard to recall 16 snapshots.[/li]
[li]Use the Octatrack’s Arranger to remote recall parameters.[/li]
[li]Change velocity on Octatrack’s MIDI track to access different banks.[/li]
[li]Use Arranger Pitch transpose to access 16 snapshots with a single OT pattern.[/li]
[li]Transpose +12 for quantised/holden changes.[/li]
[/ul]
Custom Keypads Highlights
Global:
[ul]
[li]16 Keypads arranged in a 4x4 pads’s grid.[/li]
[li]Per snapshot basis. You can have a different SET for each snapshot, that is 1024 KeyPad’s Sets per project.[/li]
[li]Exclusive import/export function that load/saves the current snapshot Kit, so you can import it in other project, or share it with your friends, have your own library, scales collection, etc.[/li]
[/ul]
Per Keypad:
[ul]
[li]5 messages (voices) per Keypad.[/li]
[li]4 launch modes: Key, Switch, Re-trigger, Smart (Re-trigger if altered, switch if same).[/li]
[li]4 Auto (autoplay) modes: off, Always, If Active, If Altered, If Active and Altered.[/li]
[li]4 Voices mode: Poly, Cycle, Random, Other.[/li]
[li]Random/Cycle/Other can be linked or asynchronous.[/li]
[li]8 Choke/Mono groups.[/li]
[li]Legato.[/li]
[li]Quantise: from 1/16 to 4 Bars (no thirds here but is possible using the Repeater).[/li]
[li]Shift Quantise. Shift the quantise point in 1/16 steps, either positive or negative) Yes there is no need to press a pad on the begging of the bar to have it playing a note on the latest 16th on the 4th bar. just press it whenever you want and it will play in the right moment.[/li]
[li]Micro timing adjust in dots.[/li]
[li]Quantise note Off messages.[/li]
[li]PreQuantise value. (applies to the note off and cc on).[/li]
[li]Repeater. from 1/16 to 8 bars and all in between (in 1/16 steps).[/li]
[/ul]
Per Message:
[ul]
[li]Can send a MIDI note, a MIDI CC, or both.[/li]
[li]Each Note and CC has their independent destination Device and MIDI channel. i.e You can send several notes and CCs to different devices at the same time by pressing a single keypad.[/li]
[li]Velocity sensitive or Fixed Velocity for Note messages (random and curves coming soon!)[/li]
[li]Independent Min and Max Values for CC messages. (velocity to Max Val and pressure to Max Val coming soon)[/li]
[li]Each message has its own Delay and Length (musical values synced to Master Tempo). You can create micro phrases, ad-libs, etc.[/li]
[li]Can play Cycle, Random and Other, asynchronous (i.e. 3 notes 5 CCs)[/li]
[/ul]
Some uses for the Custom Keypads are:
[ul]
[li]Play arpeggios quantised.[/li]
[li]Construct arpeggios smartly. i.e. 4 Keypads for the bass that behaves monophonic and quantised, and other 4 keypads with chords or some high notes. Try them, combine them, record them live to your machines.[/li]
[li]Construct stackable polyrhythmic modulations.[/li]
[li]Do more with less keys. You have some voices shouts or fill effects you use to add dynamic to your track? Add them as multiple messages to a single keypad in Cycle mode. Now you can shoot them all using a single Keypad. Set Voice Mode to Random and get surprised.[/li]
[li]Assign different Sample Slices (RYTM or Octatrack) to different Keypads, then play them and/or record them live.[/li]
[li]By CC locking pitch values, create custom chord scales. Get four notes chords (even 5) on the Analog Four using just a single Analog Four’s voice. Note that you can record them Live too!.[/li]
[li]Create micro phrases / Arpeggios.[/li]
[li]Wet/dry effects, control sends, etc. Momentary or Switch.[/li]
[li]Create multiple variations or accessories. i.e. You can have the main snare on the RYTM and have two keypads on Performer, one with a sequence for the rim, and another with some brush fills sequence. Then you can control them independently, turn them on or off at will, and even position rotate them in real time.[/li]
[li]Multiply your RYTM tracks by two. If your filter is open and you are using only one engine (sample or synth) for a track, you can have a completely independent track using the other engine. Synth and Sample aren’t affected in what concerns to the monophonic behaviour, so you can have for example the synth engine playing a closed hat in sixteens and a single sampled white noise burst that decays on the whole 4 bars and trigger it whenever you want using a keypad.[/li]
[li]Send static NRPN messages using a pair of CC messages.[/li]
