kogz23 Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) Hi there, I was wondering if there is a way I can get my midi controller to control the transport on my Seq4? I read that there is no MMC control for the Seq4. Can I assign CC messages to start and stop my sequencer? Thanks!

latigid on Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 You should be able to set the SEQ to slave from a MIDI start stop message? Or maybe I don't understand your question. But no, I don't think it's possible to assign a CC as a start/stop, at least not without recoding/hacking something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kogz23 Posted May 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 Right, I do not want it to slave to a device. Just need my novation impulse controller to be able to start/stop the seq. Partly because of ergonomics, mainly because my switches are starting to die! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latigid on Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 Hmm, breaks the MIDI standard a bit :) Sorry about your switches! It must be possible because the BLM can start and stop the SEQ, but that is in a compressed/non-standard format. I don't think it's anything simple and would need some firmware hacking but I guess it's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kogz23 Posted May 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 I guess the midi standard would be that the MMC controls the start stop. But as far as I'm aware this is not implemented. Am I correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 MIDI beat clock and start/stop are of course supported, just use these standard messages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIDI_beat_clock You need to enable listening to MIDI Clock on specific ports, otherwise it won't work - it's the same for the LoopA. :) Best regards, Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kogz23 Posted May 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 My controller doesn't send a MIDI clock, just start and stop messages. I got it to work by going into MIDI config, Ext. Controls. There I could assign one button to start/stop it via CC messages. So that works for me. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
