Feature Request:
Parts should be able to send / receive Midi CC messages.
Problem:
Not possible to change Parts remotely; and thus cannot have perfect synchronization of multiple Octatracks as no way to change Parts simultaneously.
Solution:
Suggest using Midi Continuous Controller message [ $3E 62 ] with values [ 0 = Part 1 … 3 = Part 4 ] to send/receive when Parts change.
This would allow synchronization, or extend the capabilities of the Octatrack when used as a voice module; particularly in light of the recent OSv1.40 update and Midi Slices.
Additional: Add option in the Project, or Personalize to enable/disable this behaviour via a boolean flag.
Use Case #1: Two Octatracks Master/Slave synced.
Initial State:
- Master: Pattern A01 Part 01
- Slave: Pattern A01 Part 01
Change to Part 02 on the Master, result:
New State:
- Master: Pattern A01 Part 02
- Slave: Pattern A01 Part 01
So now they are out of sync.
Use Case #2: Octatrack as a voice module
Using the Octatrack as a voice module trigger samples/slices whatever.
Imagine being able to change the part remotely to access a new array of samples and associated fx etc?
