Chromatic off for midi in

Elektron Gear Model:Samples
1

Hi,

I want to control my model sample with an external step sequencer.

How can I assign a note for each track, will staying in the same midi channel?
The pad note seems to affect only the midi out, it would be great if I could assign it to the midi in so I can bypass the chromatic function.

I just want one sample to be assigned to one note only, so each note plays a different sample in the same midi channel.

Sorry, model:samples doesn’t work that way. I can’t even think of a hack that would let you do it with some external hardware (though somebody else might ?).

Sorry, I’m not being very helpful considering this is your first post :frowning:

Yeah that’s what I fear. To program a beat with 6 samples I need 6 different midi channel…

That’s not quite true, because you can always sample-lock on a per-trig (per-step) basis. So on one track you can have kicks on 1 5 9 13 and closed hats on 3 7 11 15 for example. But that’s not quite the same as what you first asked for.

EDIT: Oh I just noticed

so what I suggested won’t help.

Actually … I think there is a way (a bit convoluted) if your external sequencer can send CC 19 and CC 20 with every step. That controls sample start and length. So you could say

  • create a chain with 4 samples in it and load to a track
  • each time you send a note, also send
    • CC19 as 0, CC20 as 30 for the first sample in the chain
    • CC19 as 30, CC20 as 30 for the second sample in the chain
      and so on

I think that might have a chance of working.

Yes I used this trick with the sample start before, I think it won’t be easy to program this but I will try. Thank you for your help.

Well I just checked and I can’t do this with my step sequencer. I guess I won’t be able do use the model sample as I want.

You can trigger all six m:s tracks using just one midi channel. You need to set your external sequencer to channel 10 (by default). Now you’re able to trigger all tracks by sending notes from C0 to F0 (the leftmost octave). You can change the channel in m:s settings: you need to go into MIDI settings->In Chan->Auto In and set it to whatever you like.
I’ve mapped these notes to my Arturia Minilab 3 pads since they have a better response, so i dont need to smash the pads on the m:s itself :slight_smile:

That’s a good feature but I don’t think that was what th OP asked for.
