VJing - get Midi data of internal track

Hi,
I’m recently experimenting with TouchDesigner and midi reactive visuals. I’ve started with an Oxi One which send CV infos to my Euorack while still sending duplicated midi data via the USB.
I could also sequence any hardware of software device and getting the midi data.
I was thinking Digi boxes (Digitone II, Digitakt II) could do the same. But since it’s more enclosed architecture and not being a sequencer in the first place I can’t figure a way to do it.
I must make a midi track that copy the internal track. on 4/4 kicks it’s not a problem but with complex sequence and P-locking stuff it’s impossible.

For now what I could do is:

  • sequence my Digi boxes with the Oxi One
  • use audio instead of midi (I still not tried if I can get splited audio track in TouchDesigner with Overbridge)

Anyone has a solution, or useful resource to dig in?
Thanks

I might have misunderstood, but couldn’t you set up a sequence on the Oxi One, record it in to the Digitakt/tone sequencer, add your p-locks etc, and then use the original information from the Oxi One to send to TD? That way it’s like a ‘backing’ midi track.

You won’t get p-lock info out of the Elektron sequencer and it wouldn’t be in the Oxi, but you can add whatever seems suitable on the Oxi to trigger a corresponding effect in TD?

Looking into this a bit more out of curiosity, routing INT audio to Main should also enable audio outputs while using Overbridge. It looks like it might de-sync the VST though as it compensates for USB delay, so you could play with settings to see if that can be overcome or potentially use a physical MIDI cable for clock etc.

I mention this in case you can achieve what you’re after in TD using a second set of connections via your interface and audio logic params.
