Please can we make theses pad functions change when I change program. Same as changing sets but i would like all the sets and pad functions to be swappable live. So i have program of 64 functions then change pad function set to normal when i change program OR make sets available on main screen. so i can change sets as i play.......I dont wanna record set changes just be able to have sets easily changed from main screen so i can switch pad functions, pad to CCs ect back to normal pad play sample function
As of now, Pattern Pads are only partially attached to Tracks and both over-ride and interact with Programs. I've been using Pattern Pads for controlling external MIDI gear and the JJ revisions are making things easier, but it's still a little awkward. For instance, turning OFF the Pattern field in the Main screen does not turn off Patterns, it turns off Patterns controlling program samples. CCs in patterns will still be sent, which means there's no way to turn off the function in the Main screen without setting the parameter on each individual pad.
I think JJ's on the right track by having the Pattern Pad function supersede Programs. Changing sets/configurations live, as you mentioned, would be a huge benefit. Setting MIDI Output of a Pattern Pad independently of Track would also be nice.
