Tyler and/or others,
I have been exploring two minimalist midi (almost non-midi) work arounds for the OP’s concerns and I was hoping for some assistance with a midi question.
The first possible work around is to use a Wampler Syntax to operate an H90 as though it only has programs 1 through 8.
This simple little guy requires no midi programming. It increments up and down between 1 and 8 with two foot switches. Better still, using one switch, it will scroll to the beginning again and start the sequence anew when exceeding 8 (1234567812345678123…); that leaves the second switch for another function if desired.
However, the midi output with each press of a switch is one simple program change command (PC1 PC2 PC3 etc). So my question is whether a simple PC command like that will both recall the desired program AND load the program (similar to the way a CC command can “inc+load”)? If so, it seems like a great tool for the OP. If not, it seems worthless because the H90 would never actually load any programs.
Thoughts?
The other possible work around is to use a Chase Bliss Faves (switch between 6 presets and a live mode in various ways), but I’m still exploring how that operates on a midi level.
