Hi,
I would like to change preset on external synth controlled by Zaq each time i change a pattern.Is that possible?Hi Harel,
thanks for your question!
It is possible, but you would have to sacrifice one Midi CC track (alpha/beta) for that.
Set it to Program Change in the Global menu and then just send the Program Number from Step 1 of each pattern.Hope this helps!
Thank you Christian, that helps a lot!
I guess that if i tweak the sound during the Zaq is running, it will go back to the stored sound each time it passes step 1…
I’ll check it soonI think synths generally ignore the program change if they’re already playing that preset.
In case of Waldorf Blofeld, it goes back to the preset each time it passes step one :/
If you want to tweak your synth sound in between, you could try turning off the program change temporarily. You have two options for this, turning it off in the pattern-step (this will then be restored upon (re)loading a pattern), or temporarily switch the Midi Control alpha/beta in the global menu to off.
While playing live i send 2 channels to the same synth, one with notes and the other with the program change. after switching to a new pattern i mute the program change channel.
