Heres my current setup I am experimenting with:
A4/MnM/AR/MD/OT.
on my OT tracks 1-4 i am sending random notes out to all my machines via midi chan 1-4. ive got them all configured to receive cc. on the md i have the base chan defined as 1-4.
i want to achieve random notes and param changes to be triggered. on the md its working like a charm. md is in classic mode with the kit i want and is randomly switching patterns and kits. i have my OT lfos set to randomize note and arp ‘tran’ and ‘spd’ values. i also designed some waveforms for the lfos.
i am having a hard time making the a4/mnm/ar behaving in the same way as the md. i can’t get them to randomly change kits and patterns.
in the md’s map editor only one param seems to be effected at a time. i have it set to group ‘ctrl’ and have it set to stop… this value is constantly changing when i open the page. is it possible to have it affect all values? also i don’t quite know what kind of trig to choose here: gate/strt/que - i have it set to strt atm but i dont really know what these values stand for.
at the moment i have it playing on 300 bpm to be able to hear changes asap. the idea in the end is to go down to 30bpm and set the lfos to oscillate at a minimum value so the changes happen as slow as possible.
too bad we can’t map midi scenes with the xfader
does anybody have any idea how to get the other machines to change kits and patterns? all of them are receiving the data and are having notes triggered. its mayhem. but i would like to achieve a kind of controlled chaos.
whats also very weird is that even when i mute the pads on my AR they still output sound. this is the same for the a4. i am hearing sounds coming from it even with the tracks muted. i am running my MD through my AR and my MnM through my A4.
