I use a foot controller to trigger my patterns in the OT. Since Midi is limited to 128 numbers I wanted to know if there is a workaround how to trigger a pattern like for instance “M09”? Is it possible at all?
Thanks,

I believe this relies on Bank AND Program Change aspects of the Midi protocol.
But I never tried.
Good point to focus on!
How would I do a bank change followed by a programm change. Just can’t find any solution! PLEASE!
Which foot controller do you have?
It’s a little tricky, but I got it going… I thought I already had it figured out, but apparently I could only switch up to bank 8 ( I never really fill up all the banks so I never notice it wasn’t working fully.)
Anyway, here is what I figured out 
cc0 value 0 = banks 1 - 8
cc0 value 1 = banks 9 - 16
program change 0 - 127 to access the patterns
1- 16 = bank 1 or 9
17-32 = bank 2 or 10
etc.
good luck!

It’s part of the MIDI specification, not anything special to do with the OT. MIDI CC message, number 00, is a special controller for Most Significant Byte of the Bank Select message. The MSB is sufficient (without the LSB) if no more than 128 banks are available.
On the OT, bank 0 contains Banks A to H and bank 1 contains Banks I to P.
Sending CC 00 with value 01 selects Bank number 1 on the receiving instrument. Then the Program Change message selects the program (pattern, in the case of the OT).
Thank you guys,
You made my day. The thing with the values 0/1 and then 128 patterns via pc was the solution! Now ALL PATTERNS AVAILABLE. By The way because you asked: I am using the Mastermind GT by RJM, amazing piece of gear!
THANKS!
