Man. Total bummer. I thought people on the internet didn’t understand how basic MIDI worked because if a device, a rhythm device, claims it can respond to program changes, anyone in their right might would expect it to respond in a sensible, rhythmic way that honors its silk screened pattern change modes. It’s written in paint right there on the box how it’s supposed to work right?
WTF? I basically can’t use this live. Well maybe, if I screw my head on backwards and work around basic expectations and hack it.
Trying to slave this AR MKii to my MPC Live so I can do amazing things like have a different tempo per sequence.
It seriously waits a whole pattern to act on a program change?! When set to direct jump?
So basically I have to enter a program change in another sequence to prime it? So much for sequence based composition.
And this has been going on for years?!
Disappointed.
Love the sounds.
