It is possible to send a midi sequence with midi loopback, on Auto Channel.
Caveats : no plocks, unless you plock some parameters in the midi track.
Edit : I found something more convenient :
Intead of Func + Level, use Func + - - - (Sound).
Select Sound Browser with YES.
Select Sound, YES
Press YES again to go back in Sound Browser.
Etc…
You mentioned this yesterday. Could you explain it a bit more? The only way I’ve used midi is for clock and selecting a channel to control a synth with a controller.
Would love to get more advanced.
This was the first way I went through it. If you just press the data value encoder, it goes straight to the browser list.
I was hoping to stay in the list and have the sounds fore on the trigs before loading them for good.
A few of the immediate sound access aspects are sub-par on the Syntakt relative to other devices
The best practice solution to this exact issue was to press Function + Yes to load the sound - this specifically retained the browser view (for this exact purpose of better auditioning)
However, I’m not sure if this functionality made it in, there are a few other convenient sound loading methods missing already
With ST, now we have song mode, there is not much interest in midi loopback.
You can get an extra lfo, but you loose a track. An interesting trick is to set several tracks on the same channel and control their Modwheel, Aftertouch…any modulation at the same time.
The principle is simple. Plug a midi cable between IN/OUT, set up a midi track with Auto Channel, or a specific midi channel…
Ok. But pressing YES seems more convenient, because you can leave the finger above :
Arrows, YES (Sound selection)
YES (to go back to Sound Browser)
Etc. Faster imho. Maybe a better solution.
Personally I always start from scratch.
I have to prepare a template for my favorite machines settings, lfos. And a sound pool for analog drums soundlocks.
If you mean a midi processor like RK002 cable, it is possible to use it for polyphony, controlling 4 audio tracks with a midi track, or 8 audio tracks with 2 midi tracks…
Sorry, I’m a noob. So the Syntakt becomes the controller for say an MC101? Then I have the sequencer able to do all it’s power with other sounds, am I getting this right?
And how can I select the midi channel per track. Is that in the settings menu or on one of the pages?
Okay… this is a new rabbit hole to go down… Im sure the midi mapping is in the manual… Im actually going to start with getting the MC101 paired up… when I used that example, I realized how good an idea that was.
Thank you for all the help. Im sure Im going to post more questions as the come up.
Edit… I just realized you added the link… haha… thanks!
Your right… just for preview… and I see what your saying… leave the finger above… two quick presses and it loads the sound… temp save to get back to where you were at…
