A4 MKI not responding to program change (OS 1.51)

Elektron Gear Analog Keys/Four
#1

Hi!

I have 3 Elektron machines (Digitakt, Digitone and A4 MKI).
I have them connected that way:
Digitakt MIDI OUT > Digitone MIDI IN.
Digitone MIDI THRU > A4 MKI MIDI IN.

Digitakt is set to send CLOCK, TRANSPOSE and PROGRAM CHANGES.
Digitone and A4 MKI are set to receive CLOCK, TRANSPOSE and PROGRAM CHANGES.

When I hit PLAY in the DT, the other 2 machines start playing, and if I change tempo, both machines respond correctly, but when I change pattern in my DT, only DN changes the pattern. A4 MKI stays in the same pattern no matter what I do.

I have tried with only one Digi machine (both DT and DT) and A4 (using DN or DT as master) and doesn’t work either.

Any idea why A4 is not changing pattern??

Thanks

Which MIDI channel number are you using to send Program Change messages from the Digitakt?

Which MIDI channel number are you using to receive Program Change messages on the Analog Four?

The two channel numbers need to match.

Thanks PeterHanes.
I just set the MIDI PROG CHANG channel (both IN and OUT, does it matters?) to 16 on all 3 machines and now it works just as expected.

Great!!

You only need to activate PC Out on the Digitakt and PC In on the Digitone and Analog Four.

OK, I will leave the AUTO setting for DT IN and DN and A4 OUTs
