External Control of the Pattern (Midi progam change)

Elektron Gear Analog Rytm
#1

Hi there,

for a live set up with the Analog Rytm and the Analog Four I would like to have a kind of hardware, which can launch/trigger the pattern changes on the Analog Rytm and the Analog Four. I thought it would be great to start the different patterns directly with one single push on a pad.

Thanx and greetings
Chris

You can do this with any device that sends MIDI Program Change messages.

Why do you not want to use the two instruments’ controls to change the patterns?

Hi Peter,

hm, I thought it might be easier in a live performance to have just “one” button to press for changing pattern and kit at once, as use the bank button and then the numberbutton for changing…its about timing…Could you recommend a device which can send such messages?

Thx
Chris

A search on the forum reveals a number of options for you to explore:

I have a Source Audio Soleman controller that can do what you want, and much more.

Unless you have particular physical requirements, you can press the buttons on a footswitch with your hands.

What other gear do you already own?
