Switching synth patches quickly using MPK25
Posted: Mon Oct 10, 2011 1:15 am
Hello,
I'm using an APC40 with my live shows and only have one track available for synth leads. I like to use an MPK25 just for synth leads as I think it gives a nice connection to a strong synth lead.
I switch between Analog, Operator and several Puremagnetik synths over the course of a live set and I was thinking it would be great to be able to switch between synth patches just using the MPK25.
I've used simpler to have several patches available and use the K1 through K12 knobs to raise or lower the volume on each, which works ok but seems a bit awkward.
I tried to use the S1 - S4 buttons to select, but they just turn the patch on and off quickly. Not sure how to modify that.
I'm wondering if anyone has experience switching through different synth patches in the same track using this controller?
Thanks!
