Hello, On the MOXF you can start a Pattern by pressing a key. This can be set at the Pattern/Play page. Unfortunately, this setting affects all patterns in the current pattern bank. Does anyone know if it’s possible to set this for individual patterns only, and if so, how? Many thanks in advance and a have nice weekend Rainer |

The Keyboard Start setting indeed acts globally. It can’t be set individually for different Patterns, and can’t even be stored - Keyboard Start will revert to the default setting of “off” if the MOXF is powered down and back on. Could you explain in some detail what you’re needing to do? Perhaps there’s a different approach that would satisfy your needs. |

That’ s sad. I really just want to start one pattern with a keystroke and the others manually. Of course I can switch off the key start function afterwards, sometimes you only forget that and mostly when it is important. 😩 |

I tried other approaches. But the pattern is too long for an user arp, and for songs there is no keyboard start function. |

Sorry, but you haven’t provided sufficient detail for me to attempt to help. If you’d like to pursue this… Why do you need to start a particular Pattern by pressing a key, as opposed to pressing the sequencer Play button? Why is having Keyboard Start “on” for other Patterns not desirable? Are you using Pattern Parts for live play? Are you using any MIDI gear external to the MOXF? Detailed application information might (or might not) lead to suggestions. |

Oh, I apologize :). I believed the problem was clear. No, I’m not using external MIDI gear. Yes, I’m using Patterns for live play. I want to start this specific pattern synchronized, while I’m playing piano with both hands, so I have no hand free for pressing the SEQ PLAY button. I want to start other patterns manually, and not, if I’m pressing any key. Thank you for your efforts |

I understood from your initial post what you wanted. I was hoping that sufficient usage detail might lead to a solution.

What still isn’t clear (to me) is why pressing keys can’t be avoided for the Patterns where starting sequencer play that way isn’t desirable. Â :-)
However, here’s an approach that doesn’t depend on the MOXF’s setup…

No problem. |

That’s a good idea. I‘ll try it. Thank you 😊 |

Great. It’s even easier. You don’t need a MIDI pedal that can send a FA (hex) command.
It works great for me. Thanks again, 5pinDIN :) |
