Question about changing scenes with a midi controller

Elektron Gear Octatrack
24

i ll simply control the scene changes with the LFO of the midi interface of OT

25

I make a difference between crossfader values control (CC48), and scenes changes (CC55 / CC56), otherwise it’s confusing.
Apparently you want crossfader control.

With midi loopback (midi cable between midi in and out) :

New project
Set a midi track with midi channel 1, CC48 in CTRL1
Modulate CTRL1 with an lfo
done

26

thank you so much

27

@TLXCO so it worked?
I gave more precisions here, I was wrong a few posts above. (edited)
Quiz me on the Octatrack!

28

it doesn’t work well cause i ve the midi feedback…the CC work but the OT have a problem with midi feedback and after a minute all is fucked up.
what can i do?

29

Try using only midi tracks using the same midi channel as audio tracks (1-8). It avoids feedback.

30

like audio track 1 on first midi slot with channel 1 - then track 2 on midi slot 2 but always midi channel 1 right?

31

I don’t understand what you mean by midi slot.
There are audio tracks, midi tracks, midi channels.
You can set audio tracks channels in PROJECT > MIDI > CHANNELS
You can set midi tracks channels in their NOTE SETUP.

If a midi track shares the same midi channel as an audio track, the midi track can’t receive midi, hence no feedback.

If you want to control external midi gear you may need to filter midi data with a midi processor.

32

midi slot = midi track

33

so i ve to assign the first midi tracks to the first audio tracks , select a midi channels for controll the OT and then?
if i move to midi tracks 2 and audio tracks 2 to manage audio tracks what, the midi channel change?
"track shares the same midi channel as an audio track…
how i can set the same track and midi channel??

34

If you want to make it simple for tests :
New project (Default audio tracks default midi channels are 1-8).
Midi Track 1 set to channel 1
CC48 for crossfader.

35

Sezare56 doesn’t have a “brain” per se, it actually is an Octatrack that became sentient. It can answer all OT questions easily as it’s just talking about itself… :smile:

Not always proud of myself. I’m buggy. :content:

That’s not buggy, that’s called deep personality! :smile:

Sorry for necromancing, but, can you MIDI loopback this, so it’s possible to have an scenes track within the OT itself?

39

Yes. You can even record crossfader movements.

Thanks, Wery nice, I have been locking for this for a long time. I just connected a morningstar mc8 to my OT, and i work very good.
The CC increment values goes like this.
CC#1 - Value 0
CC#2 - Value 1
CC#3 - Value 2 ect…
