Morningstar MC6 play sample on Digitakt

I think i am close to solving all but this last part.

I have my Morningstar communicating to the Digitakt successfully over midi channel 14.

I have 8 samples lined up in one project. I used CC 17 set to value 3 to play it forward, but that ‘play’ is just the mode i learned (however, changing the value proved i was communicating between the two devices successful when play mode changed)

What i am simply trying to do, is actually ‘play’ the sample on the digitakt with a button on the footswitch. I cannot find the CC or PC instructions in the manual to do this. Not clear at all. There is some reference to using individual midi channels on page 70 but that seems overkilll.

Just looking to do 6 buttons on the MC6 mapped to 6 different samples. when i press the foot switch button i get a sound.

Thanks.

Go to the midi channel settings, pick one for each track and send a note on from the Morningstar to that channel.

Thanks, i’m getting closer. i see that now it communicates with that sample, but when i do a
'Press CC CC#3 CCvalue 127" to the specifically mapped digitrak channel, it sets the Note value to C7 but doesn’t make a sound from the footswitch. but it does make a sound of C7 from the DT. i may have missed something. what midi command mirrors the push of Button 1 on the DT. also, i tried different values other than 127 and it doesn’t go to C5, which is what i want.

Thanks

You can trigger each of the DT’s tracks individually from any MIDI controller using the Autochannel only, using the first eight notes (in half steps) starting from C0. It will already play the root note, but it can make setup simpler.
