Title: Bank/Pattern control via MIDI?
Post by: NolanGrant on February 25, 2020, 12:52:42 pm

Hello everyone,,
When I try to send bank/program control changes to the software, such as MSB/LSB 01 01 (for bank1,pat1).. nothing happens. Does Spark software support bank/program change messages? Is there another way to do it? I would like to sequence the patterns from my host rather than the song sequencer or via midi clips. I've searched the knowledge base, checked the intergoogles, and youtubes, and can't find any information. It's def not in the manual. Switching banks/patterns via MIDI should be possible.. it is for pretty much every other groovebox in existence ever.

Hi and welcome to Arturia forums?

You have a "Next Bank" and a "Next Pattern" automation parameter. They can be assigned to knobs. And they can be automated in your DAW.

Also you can assign a midi CC to each Bank and each Pattern. How to - is described in the manual.

I don't know, if you can use Bank select/ Program Change for this.
