While I was scrawling through the MIDI parameters of the AN200 (making the most of this machine by arming myself with a bunch of external faders controlling a whole heap of hidden functions) I noticed that on page 133 it says the following:
Step Seq Loop Type forward(0),backward(1),alternateA(2), 00(forward) alternateB(3)
NOW surely this means there is a way to get the sequencer to play in directions other than 'Forward' and Backward' - which is only possible via the front panel controls.
Do you know anything about this? I've spent ages trying to work out the sysex for this on my Kenton Control Freak and doesn't work! So frustrating! I've got what seems to be the correct sysex message but only Forwards and Backward work and the other two modes simply don't function. Would love these extra modes - it would be amazing to get the standard 16-step sequencer to be effectively doubled by having it play 'Ping Pong' for example.
:-)
BTW. the message I'm sending is
F0 43 10 5C 00 00 09 XX F7 (where XX is one of the 4 playback modes)
Thanks very much, really hope this makes sense to you.
