They don’t work w/ ext prog change, you’re correct sicijk.
Been having this same issue, drives me nuts cos OT pattern arranger is so strong…varying the length or startpoint or number of repeats of the same pattern to make complexity w/o having to build a ton of different patterns, so nice. But makes playing w/ the other gear a PITA when the AK doesn’t want to follow nice.
So is the only workaround at this point to use multimap?
My understanding is that you map a key or keyrange to a range of patterns for changing…, then would send midiCC from the controlling device (in my case OT) corresponding with whichever pattern you want to change to? And in this case the Sequential/Direct/Jump modes in Func+Bankmode actually work. (they don’t change a thing when it comes to external pattern changing by other means).
Is that correct?
Which is still a bummer because it does still nerf the OT’s really strong arranger mode. You’d have to sneak midi trigs all over the place, meaning you couldn’t just willy nilly change pattern lengths/repeats/start points in OT arranger. Cos the AK/A4 needs told when to change manually, yes?
