Title: Make all the arpeggiator and sequencer buttons controllable by Midi CC
Post by: teleute on June 25, 2021, 01:09:51 am

Hello I would find it very helpful if the following 6 buttons could be triggered via midi cc

Arp|Seq
Oct|Mod
UP|A
Down|B
Random|.
Pattern|>

Being able to do so would allow the microfreak to be played remotely from an external keyboard or sequencer and still access these functions.

For example the arpeggiator could be turned on or off, the sequencer pattern could be switched from A to B or stopped and started all via a foot switch or button on a controller keyboard or even a daw sequence.

In terms of adding to live performance ability, and hardware integration flexibility, it would offer quite a lot and presumably be a fairly simple function to add.

At most it would require 6 CC's

Arp|Seq    ¦ CC A ¦ Value 0 - 63 = Off ¦ 64 - 95 = Arp ¦ 96 - 127 = Seq
Oct|Mod   ¦ CC B ¦ Value 0 - 31 = 1 ¦ 32 - 63 = 2 ¦ 64 - 95 = 3 ¦ 96 - 127 = 4
UP|A         ¦ CC C ¦ Value 64 - 127 = press
Order|B     ¦ CC D ¦ Value 64 - 127 = press
Random|.  ¦ CC E ¦ Value 64 - 127 = press
Pattern|>  ¦ CC F ¦ Value 64 - 127 = press

Or this could be reduced down to 3 CC's as only 1 of the last 4 buttons can ever be active.

Arp|Seq    ¦ CC A ¦ Value 0 - 63 = Off ¦ 64 - 95 = Arp ¦ 96 - 127 = Seq
Oct|Mod   ¦ CC B ¦ Value 0 - 31 = 1 ¦ 32 - 63 = 2 ¦ 64 - 95 = 3 ¦ 96 - 127 = 4
UP|A         ¦ CC C ¦ Value 0 - 31 = press
Order|B     ¦ CC C ¦ Value 32- 63 = press
Random|.  ¦ CC C ¦ Value 64 - 95 = press
Pattern|>  ¦ CC C ¦ Value 96 - 127 = press

Thanks
