I’ve been preparing a live set with Ableton Live (Mac) and my Digitone Keys connected via Overbridge. I have various MIDI clips whose note values are being sent to my Digi Keys, which then sends audio to different channels in Live.
Here lies my issue: I want to setup my Live session so that select MIDI clips or scenes will trigger a different PTN on the Digitone, so that I can instantly change the sound of all four Digitone tracks when I trigger a new scene. I looked at the MIDI CC messages in the manual, but even after setting each MIDI channel in Live to trigger the corresponding PTN via the ‘envelopes’ tab, it just won’t trigger.
Has anybody had a similar issue? I’m wondering if this may be a problem with Overbridge? Feel free to let me know, I’m totally at a loss! Thanks so much for reading. Cheers!
When using Overbridge you need to send notes on Channel 16 to change patterns. They start at the lowest key and progress up through 128 notes/patterns.
If not using Overbridge you use program change messages.
Digitone will only change to a new pattern when the current pattern has finished playing.
My free Pattern Clips device can help simplify things if you have Max for Live.
