Reset using CTRL+AL and P-Locks

[joshuajmoore76]

Is there a way to simulate the extended+function behavior with a p-lock on a ctrl-al machine? I have some p-lock values for various syn(1-8) and want to reset back to the original kit values at a specific point in the pattern. I can do it manually, but I’d prefer to make a p-lock for this.

If that’s not possible I can send MIDI messages from my pyramid so that’s an option too, if available.

Any input/suggestions highly appreciated. Thanks!

P.S. First post! Yay me. haha.

There are undocumented sysex strings you can send over MIDI that simulate button presses, not sure you can simulate press and hold in order to simulate the return to saved pattern, but maybe start here:

Undocumented Sysex

After performing some MIDI probing I discovered undocumented SYSEX commands that allow you to control the MD GUI via MIDI. MIDI Byte | Purpose (MD SYSEX init) | 0x40 | n | See below a | See below 0xF7 | n | a | Purpose 0x00 | | 0x01 | any | Toggle KIT menu 0x02 | any | Toggle LFO menu 0x03 | a > 0x64 | Hold up arrow | a <= 0x64 | Release up arrow 0x04 | a > 0x64 | Ho…

Interesting. I will have to probe that a bit further. Might be a bit complex to construct on the Pyramid, but I’m willing to give it ago. Thanks for the idea. Any other input sill highly welcome!
