Nicely done! The same challenge exists with the new Electrbes. I arrived at the same solution with the MIDI Solutions Event Processor Plus. I posted a link to the Arturia post in this site's Electribe sub forum. The MS EPP is limited to 32 tasks so it doesn't have enough room to process all 16 BSP pads as well as clock and transport control messages. Looks like this could easily handle mapping all 16 drum sequencer pads of the BSP to the Electribe though.

BSP 1-8 > E/S2 9-16
BSP 9-16 > E/S2 1-8
MIDI Note #60

Now we have two solutions to a problem Arturia won't make go away.

Gongrats and Thanks!

Thanks, I didn't know that product existed, a little pricey but it seems more straight forward, although i learn a ton while making this thing. BTW I'm more inclined to blame Korg for this problem than arturia, but sure, either of them could easily remedy this.
