When i send 94 , i can start /stop with trigs, which is actually really nice.
But it eats a full channel, which i might need later.
Actually i switched the OT to midi sequencer mode, set the CC1 up to 94, and its working like a charm. (On individual channels, sending to the RYTM for example.)
But i wonder still, how to do it via the performance channel. The manual is not too clear about this.
I could for sure create performance macros, which do mute groups, and then send that CC to On and Off, - that would eat probably 1-3 performances knobs /CC but might actually do the trick.
I just wonderd, if there is any CC that mutes with a certain CC and from 01-16 track one mute on off, 17-32 track 2 on /off etc.
I had the problem, that the CC’s are still sent, although the Midi track was muted. I.e. i used it to send CC 94 , but the message was still send, when the Midi track was muted.
I will try out to do it via the performance channel during the weekend.
But sequencing the midi track mutes would help to automate volume sweeps, when I need it.
Either this, or I need to become an octopus alien with 8 arms.
Also: is there a work around for enslaving A4 /RYTM , the Octatrack has more banks than the A4. 16 vs 8.
Do you still stick to the 1 “song” per bank approach? If the sequencer follows the patterns, i would be limited to the 8 banks of the A4/RYTM.
Ok, i found it out how it works, well it was just a little logical error:
If i send mutes via the performance channel. i.e. scene changes via CC92, i have to mute the midi channel, so it wont trigger the scene. I got a bit confused, because i need to activate the mute on the midi channel to remove the mute, as i use it to send mutes.
Sorry for your reading time, but probably it does help you when you face a similar problem. Also the scene change CC is not documented in the manual, i found it also via the forum.
