When I load the track it sends the program change information and if I'm not mistaken, the initial value for any knobs I have enabled. �I think this is simpler because there's fewer pieces and the program change piece is more straight forward. �If you want more information about using a track for effects, search the archive for my name and and '16' for the most recent conversation.On Tue, Feb 18, 2014 at 4:45 PM, <coolout1@...> wrote:
Carrying over from my other thread...I've been racking my brains over this one.
I have my Command Station midi'ed to my MPC2000xl,� both in and out. It's super flexible and I'm finally close to creating a good system for using the power of the CS and getting some real work done. I'm mostly sequencing with the MPC, using the CS as a sound module, but also I'm using CS pads for keyboard parts .
What would be the best way to save the CS preset assignments for each song? I want to be able to just turn both devices on, have the samples and sequences on the MPC autoload, and be able to instantly recall songs using elements of both.
I guess I could figure out how to put midi program changes into a MPC track, unmute to load the correct patches for that song, then mute,� but I also need to save specific changes made to the CS presets like quick edit settings, FX settings, etc for each song...basically take a snapshot. That makes me think the easiest way might be to store all those settings in a on-board pattern (on the CS) and then find a way to recall the pattern through midi on the MPC...though I'm not sure if that's even possible.
Any thoughts?�--_____________________________________________
