Monomachine keytrack workaround

Hello folks,

I’m struggling to find a solution to take advantage of keytrack modulation without triggering pitch from arpeggiator.
For instance, i have arpeggiator running x6 to create the rhythm and i want to modulate the wavetables or any parameters while maintaining same pitch (C3) but jumping up and down thru more octaves.

Is there any chance or workaround to achieve what I’m looking for?
I won’t sacrifice lfos because I’d like to use them for other stuff.

Cheers

it sounds more like you want to decouple pitch from the arp.

which isn;t possible, but i wonder if using the keytrack to push the pitch back to the root note could work, but the math and how this would need to be set dependent on the chord hurts my brain .

Yeah, the solution you exposed works but i have to sacrifice 1 of 2 slots available on keytrack section and maths involved to kinda achieve the result.
Another idea was to send arpeggios from other tracks to feed the track I’m working on by triggering track 6 to 1 for example, but doesn’t work, even if i set the transpose on track 1 to “fix”

midi loopback is another option here. you could set the other 2-5 LFOs to target the CC of the arp’d track.
again maybe not in keeping with your desired outcome, but if one track is all you need you suddenly have upto 15 extra modulation sources…

not sure i follow what youre trying to achieve, but it is possible to lock the same pitch multiple times on the step of arp if thats what you mean? could even do duplicate pitch on the trig itself as well

Idk if forcing the arp sequencer to trigger always the same note makes the keytrack moving up/down or whatever mode is chosen, but could be a solution, I’ll test it out!

In the arpeggiator settings, having the octave range set to 2+ OCTs, or if you want specific rhythm of octave changes, you can set each step of the arp in multiples of octaves(+12, +24, etc) in whatever rhythm you want, with the AMP envelope off should probably get you close to the ballpark of what you want to do.
