    You’re welcome ;)
    I do plan to come back to this and update it eventually.
    To get around accidental errors like in the video, set your pattern clip quantize value to match the length of the other clips in the scene.
    The main idea was to send the pattern change message just before the clip starts playing. This makes your pattern changes happen in time with the clips in your scene. Normally you would always have to wait for one more loop before the pattern would actually change on your Elektron device.
    Not sure when I’ll have time but a new version is planned some day.

      It's an amazing tool ! This is gonna be a main piece of my "hybrid setup"; btw do you know if there is any way for a M4L device to send a start/stop to an Elektron box ? Ableton would still be playing some loops but the Digitakt is stopped and I need it to restart without having to stop/start Ableton

      Hey Airyck, great to see you here and thanks so much for the tip! Just pinned your comment here and will definitely check that out for the future. Thanks again for providing such an awesome device for the community - would love to send a couple of bucks your way to say thanks if that’s possible. 💚

    • @MilesKvndra
      @MilesKvndra  Год назад

      That's a very good question. I'm not entirely sure as I haven't stumbled across any and I just use the start/stop sync with Ableton (when Ableton plays, the Digitone plays too). But I can imagine this being helpful when using the internal Digitone sequencer.

      Hey tomph, yes I'm using Ableton Live 11 Suite. Just checked this and the settings are pretty standard, didn't change anything here (Pattern change track: MIDI from all ins, MIDI to the Overbridge track. Overbridge track: MIDI from all ins, Audio to my Ableton Digitone Group (Overbridge track doesn't have a MIDI out in Ableton)

    So you did the elektron sequencing in ableton or does this work also if you did all of the sequencing inside the elektron box?

    • @MilesKvndra
      @MilesKvndra  Год назад

      Exactly, I did the MIDI sequencing completely in Ableton. However, I think the pattern changes should also work if you sequence the Digitone internally as long as you use it via Overbridge in Ableton.

    • @MilesKvndra
      @MilesKvndra  Год назад +1

      I think for Digitakt and Syntakt it should work (I used it for Digitone and Digitakt in one project, you just need then 2 different MIDI tracks for Digitakt and Syntakt) but for Octa I'm not sure as I think it doesn't support Overbridge. Could still work but I have never used the plugin without Overbridge.

    It’s good and it’s the only way to send pattern changes in session view in a way that works, but if you leave it’ll the device on it sometimes sends odd pattern change messages to the electron without touching anything, am I alone in that? It’s an odd quirk

    • @Tapepusher
      @Tapepusher Год назад +1

      Just a quick follow up, when I stop Live’s transport the device keeps saying “Clip A3 updated in arrangement memory”, is that normal or is that part of my problem perhaps?

    • @MilesKvndra
      @MilesKvndra  Год назад +1

      Hey Tapepusher, what you describe in your 2nd post is normal, I have that too and it still works. Regarding the first post I don’t experience the issue for me all patterns are changing accordingly.

    • @Tapepusher
      @Tapepusher Год назад +1

      @@MilesKvndraglad you replied, played with it all day today and:
      1. Regarding my 1st issue: the PClips device keeps sending program ch. messages to my A4mk2 even after stopping Ableton’s transport I think. If I stop and I manually change to a dif pattern on the A4 itself after it’ll keep snapping back to the last pattern PClips had, same for you? I have to mute the midi channel to manually change patterns on the A4. (You can see it happening in ur vid)
      And 2. Sometimes it just doesn’t work to change patterns. I’ll have it all set up properly, it’ll work for a while then I’ll stop Ableton transport and when I start up again PClips just won’t work to change to those patterns. I have to fiddle until it works again. You say you just line them up again? I don’t think that worked. I wish it was rock solid, forced a pattern change whenever that midi clip is played.
      I hope I’m doing something wrong cuz it’s the only way I know to perform with elektron/session view 😩 I’m only using program change mode, no OB.

    • @MilesKvndra
      @MilesKvndra  Год назад

      @@Tapepusher that’s weird. For me it works fine again if I just line them up again on both of my Elektron boxes (Digitakt/Digitone). But I’ve never tried it without OB so maybe this causes issues? OB works quite reliably for me now and I have the feeling it gets along well with Pclips. Have you tried it with OB in Ableton?

    Hey man this is a little off topic, but i know you mix with pedals because you taught me some awesome stuff earlier on. I was curious do you use a reamp box by chance?
    Reason i ask is because i have to turn my gain on audio to and from way down almost -12 for some pedals in order not to get distortion when using a send and return with external fx? Thanks man love your work

    • @MilesKvndra
      @MilesKvndra  Год назад

      Hey Joey, the only hardware pedal I use from time to time is the Microcosm and I just use it for creative sound design as a send/return unit but not for mixing. Everything else I do mixing wise is done in Ableton (EQ, compression, saturation, reverb, delay, etc). But in your case it seems like you'd need some extra amplification to bring the gain up.
