Looking for a sequencer to sequence patterns

No, that’s not how I want to work. I want to trigger “song parts” manually on three machines.

for example :

Let’s say my OT receives PCs on channel 11, the DN on ch 12, and MD on ch 13.

part 1 : ch 11 PC 45, ch 12 PC 01, ch 13 PC 98
part 2 : ch 11 PC 76, ch 12 PC 54, ch 13 PC 08
part 3 : ch 11 PC 67, ch 12 PC 44, ch 13 PC 66
…

basically, one part consists on 3 patterns, one for each machine.

Oh I see. You need something to clean up the mess :stuck_out_tongue:

That would be possible to built, but I think, that its one step too complicated to be handled on the Trellis, because of it restrictions in the UI :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah, one could see it that way. I love to freely make patterns on the machines, then try to gather them afterwards.
A screen interface would be awesome. Currently looking into using the Lemur app for this. Just need a way to connect a MIDI interface (a camera connection kit is on its way).

Or you could make a patch on your Organelle :slight_smile:

That’s an idea !

I used the ot midi sequencer with a bome box for such duties.

Notes->Pchg

Basically you can use every features of the ot ( trig condition, arps etc…) and apply them to pattern selection.

Another interesting idea.
I’ll take some time to thing about the best solution for me.

#28

As a side note since you seem to look for every possible solution, I’m now using a morningstar mc6 for controlling everything.
it sends clocks, pc etc…what is interesting is that you have 32 messages per stomp, 6 stomps per page and two page per bank on 30 banks. Press, long press, double tap can trigger different messages,pc etc… Since you are looking for something manual…( Footual ? :slight_smile: )

It replaced my bomebox and my sipario which I used as a mini daw hence its quite powerfull arrangement possibilities. Since I don’t have an AK anymore its splits and routing options became a bit overkill though…

No problem, only solutions ! :slight_smile:

Didn’t know this little box.

Lab4music announced a sipario extended with more midi ports at namm this year. Could really make a nice pocket visual arranger…

#31

Funny I saw that box yesterday evening on a pedalboard and was wondering what it was :slight_smile:

#32

If it were me, I would simply program the Program Change messages into Parts on the OT. When you switch pattern to a pattern that is linked to a new Part, the Program Change messages are sent. There would be no need for any external box.

There may be reasons why this would not fit your needs.

Do you have more than 4 parts on the octatrack?

#34

Me? I have 16 Banks, each with 4 Parts, on my Octatrack.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll look into it.

#36

LK for iPad (and iPhone!) might be what you’re after. It’s like Ableton’s clip view, for midi (and actually for Ableton, which is what it was originally made to do).

#37

Interesting. But it’s not clear if I can set up “clips” to send PCs.

#38

True. I’ll take a look.

Thanks !

I had the best solution in front of me during the whole time. The answer is…
ZOIA !

I can rotate the grid 90° and make a small “Ableton Session view” to trigger pattern + “Scenes” on 4 machines. Awesome.
