wow, that was quick! i’ll give it a spin tonight and let you know how it works – thanks!
update @vicimity
been trying out the program change update – it’s neat and works great! my workflow would involve creating any numbers or presets (for instance, p1-p16) with different variations/riffs and then simply changing between them on the fly. kind of like triggering different clips in ableton live’s session view, to then jam on top of then playing live on top of.
however, i feel that midi program change may not the most optimal way of doing it, since many controllers, keyboard or midi sequencers are not able to send program change messages. (i had to dig out an old yamaha cbx-k1 to try it, hehe). the way i imagined it, p1-p16 would appear in the parameter map menu, where one could midi learn and assign a note to a preset. so i could play c1 and it would instantly jump to p1, c#1 and jump to p2 etc. that way i could also use a launchpad or a keystep for instance, or more easily sync up preset changes with another sequencer just by sending a out note on the right midi channel to norns. slow arpeggios to meta sequence the presets might also be cool.
