Volca Beats change playing pattern from midi ?

Post by Andy Cobley »

I've got my Volca Beats hooked up to a laptop via midi. I can start and stop it from my sequencer quite happily, but I can't work out if I can use the sequencer to change the current playing pattern, or even if it's possible. Any ideas if I can and if so , what midi do I need to send ?

BTW midi chart for Volca Beats seems to be here:

Apologies if this belongs else where on the forums...

It would be 'programme change', which from the charts says 'no', so it doesn't look like they implemented that, just MIDI trigger of the sounds. You'll have to switch patterns live it seems.
