I’m wondering how to use the OT as a MIDI sequencer effectively.
All my synthesizers support MIDI program change messages, and with the OT midi tracks being able to send MIDI program change (PC), bank (MSB) and sub-bank (LSB), I was under the illusion I can program a full performance on it.
But the illusion fell apart pretty quickly as I made the second pattern, and try to use different synth patches in there, discovering that I am actually changing PC for the whole SET, i.e. the PC is not saved with the pattern!
Why Elektron decided that PC is not something to save within a pattern? Is it realistic to program dozens of MIDI patterns all using the same set of synth patches?
Is there a workaround in the OT itself (without using external “MIDI message converters”)?
