I want to sync some visuals to a rytm. The ot can’t do it on the sample tracks, can the rytm? Or the digitakt? For instance, send a c1 on every bass drum trig? Or even on modulations?
If the rytm can’t do it I wonder if something like the op-z can? Any other suggestions? I basically want one box that can store all my samples and music and control custom visual software too via cc and note trigs.
Why don’t you use a seperate midi track on OT to send those CCs (IIRC OT only sends changing CC values, so if you p-lock a CC# to a specific value on all trigs, it’s only sent once, you’ll have to p-lock value changes inbetween those trigs or use and lfo).
The Rytm only sends note on/off and velocity if you activate midi output on a voice or you can output the midi data of the encoders, pads notes and pressure as well as mutes. You’d need a midi processor to make use of that, tho.
OT can also send midi output on audio tracks btw., but that’s only when pressing a trig button or turning an encoder (afaik) without a midi processor, not much use in your case.
thought about that - i mean i would need to duplicate every trig from the sample trigs to the midi trigs. It cannot send MIDI note on/off from the sample trigs - unless I’m mistaken. I need the midi note on/off to be in sync with the samples that are playing.
Yeah, either duplicate the trigs on a midi track or use a voice in the AR to output midi, (only note on/off with velocity, no CC ofc).
I’ve done similar things, using a midi track on OT which basically is a duplicate of my kick drum pattern to duck reverbs or duck other voices via midi cc control. Works really well actually.
Afaik you can copy a page on an audio track and paste it onto a midi track on OT. Not 100% sure, but I think it works…
Nope - just tried - you cannot 
I have used both the Digitone and the Digitakt to send CC messages to my computer. Those messages are fed through a script running an infinite loop, a kind of event listener. The script interprets the CC messages and converts them to emacs-lisp used to open PDF documents and select page numbers. The end result is a musically-cued slideshow. I screen-cast the process and create audio/video for students.
My process is done on a Linux computer running Emacs. I imagine with some pretty basic scripting, the same process could be run on Windows or MacOS.
This process doesn’t rely on any proprietary software. Creating CC messages on the DN and DT is a pretty straightforward process. Let me know if you have any more questions.
You can do this with the digitakt.
If you used loopback, you could control an audio track and the visuals from one of the midi tracks.
Ooo you could improv that way…
What do you mean “you would lose a whole voice on the rytm”?
Thanks for pointing that out, I actually wanted to edit that, yesterday. I started to write my reply and then got back to it and forgot to delete that part. Doesn’t make much sense that way. Thx. 
If you enable Send Midi on a track, the trigs just output midi notes, so you can’t do anything over midi that differs from the audio trig side - but if you wanted to have a duplicate of the audio trigs, like @USERNAME was trying to do, it would ofc do.
Btw, are you running those visuals on a computer? Then you could convert those note on msgs from the Rytm to CC easily with a midi processor software.
