Multi Map to transpose and switch patterns

L4rs3rik · 2014-04-11T09:33:03.000Z

Here’s a printout of my two entries to get you started.

1. Entry to control transpose on the current playing pattern

[FUNCTION]     PAT.PLAY
[RANGE LOW]    C0
[RANGE HIGH]   C2
[PATTERN]      CUR 
[PATTERN INC]  0
[TRANSPOSE]   -12
[TRANSP. INC]  1
[CHG MODE]     D.JUMP

This makes C1 equal “no transpose” and up and down from C1 transposes just like the mini keyboard on the A4 does. I prefer CHG mode to be direct jump since it makes the transpose more playable.

2. Entry to switch pattern

[FUNCTION]      PAT.PLAY
[RANGE LOW]     C#2
[RANGE HIGH]    E7
[PATTERN]       A01 
[PATTERN INC]   1
[TRANSPOSE]     0
[TRANSP. INC]   0
[CHG MODE]      SEQ.

Sincerely
LarsErik

Hi

How do i add those entires in the midi map menus?

I really want to trigger the patterns from the daw…

keltron · 2014-04-30T07:30:14.000Z

Ok… Ill try it… I have 4 entires there. But when i tried it kept saying ‘clear’

Ill try this method again

Thank you!!

I’m gonna try building a setup today. I want to split a few things, play external stuff and change patterns. Transposing might find it’s way in too! I seriously and stunned that I didn’t know about this feature. I hadn’t gone through the manual since the 1.1 update and I have never seen anyone post about it.

Can you only have one MultiMap setup? Is it one per project?

Great.

thanks for sharing

I don’t have an Analog Four but according to the manual, the Multi Map lives in a global slot, of which each project has four.

Hey @L4rs3rik, I don’t know why but your 2 entries are the same on your printout. Would you mind to share again the entrie to transpose de A4 with a midi keyboard ?
I can transpose at higher note but not lower note.

Here it’s my entry :
[FUNCTION] PAT.PLAY
[RANGE LOW] C3
[RANGE HIGH] C5
[PATTERN] CURR
[PATTERN INC] 0
[TRANSPOSE] 0
[TRANSP. INC] 1
[CHG MODE] D.JUMP.

I’ve tried something like this :
[FUNCTION] PAT.PLAY
[RANGE LOW] C1
[RANGE HIGH] C3
[PATTERN] CURR
[PATTERN INC] 0
[TRANSPOSE] 0
[TRANSP. INC] -1
[CHG MODE] D.JUMP.

But it won’t transpose correctly.

L4rs3rik · 2017-08-23T13:50:40.460Z

Yeah… that’s weird… I must have edited this post and messed it up at some time.

Updated them now with the original entries. (See above) The trick is to set the transpose to -12 and the inc to 1 to get from -12 to 12 tones over the range from C0 to C2 on the keyboard.

loa · 2017-08-23T14:03:07.623Z

Of course, I didn’t tought about the -12 for the transpose. I’ll try that tonight, thanks LarsErik !

This was very useful and now I can trigger A4 patterns from clips on Push which is VERY AWESOME
but I have a question…

Is it possible for the pattern to only play when a note is being held? What I am finding is that the pattern will loop on forever once started unless I use a blank pattern to stop which is clunky

Oh fuck how I miss the multi map feature on the Digitakt. In a DAW handling and using midi notes is so much easier then program change messages.

L4rs3rik:

multi map feature on the Digitakt

Great feature, especially with direct jump, you can have great random pattern variations sending random notes from OT or any sequencer / arpegiator.
I’d like more slots, 4 per project is not enough for me or ideally a Multi Map per kit ! I Need Sounds control in priority !

So my wishes would rather go for Multi Map for Digitone Sounds !
