Hi everyone, are new on this forum and I looked a bit everywhere and I couldn’t find the answer to my question. Here it is.
I recently acquired the and the analog rytm MK2 and a digitone. I was wondering if it’s possible in any way to modify parameters on midi tracks to other hardware.
For example is there a way for me to trig the cutoff filter on my minilogue XD, using the analog rytm’scsequencer?
And
If my monologue has a sequencer and parameter locks option, do.you think I can just sync both together and edit prameters on their respective sequencer. For exemple, when I press play on the AR (master)? How would you do it?
Welcome to the forum! Rytm is extremely basic midi-wise. It only sends note, length, and velocity from the sequencer. (This does mean it can send trig conditions, tho, such as only play this note 50% of the time, etc). So, Digitone is probably the better option here. However, it’s been ages since I had one so I’ll let someone else say what is and isn’t possible with its midi sequencer and p-locks.
Midi syncing the boxes should be no problem. Look at p59 on Rytm MKII manual for sync options.
Can I send parameter locks from digitone to AR? Like filter mods, reverb spikes, etc?
Actually, I’m fairly new to sequencing… If Digitone is the master to my AR, do I still have the option of using the AR’s sequencer and it’s parameter locks and trigs or it has to be done from digitone? And my question applies for all linked sequencers I guess (OT, AF, etc.)
Sorry if it’s been answered somewhere else or if it’s a bit of a dumb question. Cheers!
The Digitone midi sequencer lets you assign up to eight midi CCs to send externally. The AMP page lets you choose which CCs and the FLTR page lets you set their values (including p-locking them).
To control parameters on the AR, look up the relevant midi CC values in the AR manual and set them on the DN midi track CC pages.
P55-58 of the Digitone manual will give you all you need to know about the midi tracks and what you can send out from them. You can then look up the midi information at the end of the Rytm manual to see what parameters can be controlled. Same thing goes for the Minilogue. Good luck!
Sending clock and/or transport (i.e., the play/stop/pause commands) does not affect the Rytm’s sequencer aside from telling it when to start/stop playing and at which tempo. So, its sequencer will be synced from the Digitone (or vice versa) but still independent in terms of notes, p-locks, etc etc.
You do have that option. In the midi setup of the AR you can choose what it listens to and what it ignores. In PORT CONFIG in the midi settings, you can choose whether the Rytm listens for midi notes and/or midi CC/NRPN. If yes, you can use both the internal sequencer and incoming midi messages to control the AR. If you have both happening at the same time I guess it could get a bit funky with notes cutting each other off etc - I’m actually not sure if it would prioritise external CC or internal p-lock. Probably whichever occurs later.
