controlling external drum machine

Post by cjhpdx » Mon Jul 13, 2009 9:38 pm

Hello,
I have been trying to figure out how to control my JoMoX drum machine as a slave device in Live 7. I am able to set it up okay with Ableton as Master and the JoMoX as slave so when I press play in Live the drum machine starts and stops fine, however. I cannot figure out how to make it change from pattern 1 to pattern 2 / 3 / 4 /... / 64.

The only information on the JoMoX web site is this:

XBASE 888 : Pattern selection by Midi Prog Change
Midi Prog Change selection with CC32 low bank sel 0/1 = Preset selection 000..127 or 128..255
CC32 banksel high>=8 = Pattern selection 00..63

What I would like to accomplish is the ability to change patterns via midi clips in Live...?!!

can anyone point me in the right direction? thank you.

Hi cjhpdx,

every midi clip in Live can send a program change. You can find the settings for that in the clip view, in the notes box (bank/sub-bank/program).
check the Live manual for bank/program change!

best,
dfi
