You can do it in two ways.shabby wrote:dead volume.. could u tell me how u switch patterns with your korg padkontrol?
I don't have the manual handy and I'm at work right now (don't have internet at home at the moment), so for the actual figures look in the manual.
The first is to send CC#98 and 99 (NRPN lsb and msb) as it says in the manual, the value of each of these corresponding to pattern change.
You only have to send them once after turning the microsampler on.
This then preps it to receive CC#6, again the value of which corresponds to the pattern you want (this is tabulated in the manual).
I personally replace the 98, 99 step with sysex, you only need push one button instead of two and it's global so you can send it whatever scene you're in.
The sampler's manual states a line of sysex for each function (i.e. pattern change), written in the format:
[Bn,mm,vv,Bn,mm,vv,Bn,mm,vv]
In the padkontrol editor's global menu there's a user sysex list, write in an empty slot the first two parts of the thing in brackets above i.e.
Bn mm vv Bn mm vv
Type it in this exact format, no commas just spaces, and the B has to be upper case as well, n corresponds to the microSAMPLER's global midi channel where channel 1 corresponds to n=0.
If you've done this right, all you have to do is send the sysex message once, this sets the sampler up to control pattern no. every time it receives CC#6 as before.
I save space on my scenes using the top four pads set to toggle, and different note on and note off values for CC#6, giving me effectively 8 different changes for just four pads. This gives me the rest of the pad kontrol for bashing out beats etc. without the need to change scenes.
I'll write down the exact figures tonight and get back to you if you have any problems.
