Timo,
I've wrung out my brain the past few days considering some way of pulling off
what you need. (My band's got a lot of knowledge/experience in using MIDI
live.)
Unfortunately, I'd have to conclude that you'll need much more horsepower to
pull off this trick. What you're proposing is that some notes of the pedals
will merely send notes and some other notes will force a pitch change, right?
The AN doesn't have enough MIDI implementation to split up incoming note on
messages to activate different features of the synth. Maybe you could pull off
something fancy with a split keyboard patch, but I don't think it's smart enough
to map pitch change only to one scene. I've got the data manual open here, and
there is an effect, Pitch Change, which can be controlled in the matrix. The
matrix has "keytrack" as a parameter which could be used to control the Pitch
Change function. I've used the keytrack mapped to the stereo pan with great
success. Since my gear is packed away at the moment I can't experiment on this
for you. I'd personally use the lazy man's way of getting one huge amount of
MIDI horsepower in a single unit: a DMC MX-8 MIDI patchbay. The number of ways
you can mess with the MIDI stream in this box is amazing. Splits, transposes,
filters... it's got a lot. It can't generate sysex, though. If you ultimately
need to do sysex stuff you might consider a laptop on stage with a software
sequencer. It's becoming very common to do this because the reliability has
come up to usable standards for live shows. So my answer to your problem is
probably, no, it can't be done without external processing.
