Multi map

I love to use multimap for pattern change on the a4, there is someway to do the same on rytm? or only with prog. change ?

ciao thanks

bump. i have the same question. the rytm doesnt have a machinedrum-like midi mapping function, does it? i have the AR slaved to my octatrack and wanted to AR trigger patterns from the octa. is there a way to do this w/o midi maps?

No.

You can use MIDI Program Change messages to switch patterns on the AR when the OT switches pattern, but only with exact matching of the OT pattern and the AR pattern (EDIT: or by changing parts on the OT).

Thanks. So basically I set an Octa MIDI track channel to match the Rytm channel, set the PROG/MIDI note setup on the Octa and turn on the AR to receive program changes.

So does the octa need to have a different program change param value on every pattern to trigger the corresponding rytm pattern?

You can either:

do automatic pattern changes when the OT changes pattern, by setting PROG CH RECEIVE and its CHHANNEL on the OT and the PROGRAM CHANGE IN CHANNEL on the AR to the same value,

or

program the Program Change in the OT’s MIDI sequencer, but this only works when you change Part on the OT (not necessarily when you change pattern)

You can either:

do automatic pattern changes when the OT changes pattern, by setting PROG CH RECEIVE and its CHHANNEL on the OT and the PROGRAM CHANGE IN CHANNEL on the AR to the same value,

thanks peter. i think the first method should suffice. im not trying to do anything fancy. i just want to trigger pattern X on the octa and have its direct counterpart trigger on the rytm.

Multi Map is extremely powerful, it is not just about changing Patterns, I use it a lot on A4 and I think it should be implemented on the RYTM as well.
