RPPR Song change

Post by satellite »

Hi - does anyone know if it's possible to incorporate a song number change into the recorded MIDI instructions within a pattern?
What I'm trying to achieve is an automatic shift to the next song number as part of the info saved with a pattern, so that once it finishes playing the pattern it will automatically load up the next song.
I tried changing the song number while recording the pattern, but it won't budge - maybe I could manually insert a MIDI instruction using event edit?

have you tried using the Cue List instead? it does what you want, moving on through a string of songs.

No, I don't actually play the songs - I just program short RPPR patterns (2-4 beats long) and assign them to notes on the keyboard, to avoid syncing problems without having to use a click track with the drummer.
That way each pattern doesn't have time to go out of sync, and I can layer many parts independently. Only trouble is I end up using the whole keyboard 2 or 3 times in a song, so have to program multiple songs to cope.
At the moment I just have the Song number highlighted and hit the increment arrow to step up to the next song - easy enough, but just dabbling to learn the depths of MIDI. Also, I'd like to incorporate real-time mixing into RPPR patterns if possible...
