Trying to change the RYTM's patterns via program change and it's 2 bars late. Anybody know of a workaround and/or fix? It's driving me mad. I'd love use this combo live but as is I can't. :(

Place the program change in 2 bars early.

There’s an issue with the elektron’s and program changes. You may want to look at thier forum for your answer. I believe there was some reasoning behind it, it’s there on a few of the boxes. Even using them together apparently. I could be wrong about the rhythm in particular but I have seen this mentioned numerous times on differnt forums.

If you know the magic setting please share. ;)

Maybe you can print that audio as a wav file and let that wave file play as a sample in mpc, sequence it. Make it run along with the regular sequences and no one would know the difference.

So make the changes 2 bars early, record it to wav so everything is perfect (printed audio). Sequence that wave sample as it's own sequence (nothing else playing in that sequence).

Go to the Page Scale Screen (FUNC + Page) and switch to ADVance mode on the left. Then set CHNG from OFF to 4. Now Rytm should respond not 2 bars late but just 1 beat. I know its far from being perfect but it often fits for my style of music...
