I use Zenbeats on my little Android mobile, to satisfy my music making cravings on the go, but why not try and integrate it with the home studio toys as well ?
Ableton scene changes can be triggered via external MIDI control change, Maschine scene changes happen by receiving MIDI notes... Can Zenbeats do that in any way ?
In Zenbeats' loop builder page (it's arranger grid), I would love an external sequencer to tell Zenbeats when to switch to another song part (arranger grid column - "scene" in Ableton jargon) at the end of the current one or instantly - ideally through a MIDI CC... That would let me align Zenbeats parts with MPC sequences - the MPC being the center of my setup.
But I haven't found any mention of anything resembling, and I find that strange... Though that may just be the bizarre lack of support and community around Zenbeats. Have I missed something obvious ?
