What is the problem?
The blue and purple columns on the MIDI Perform Mode are useless on OG Play. They don’t modify the sound, as the device is only sending MIDI information (OG Play has no synth engine). Play+ users could also benefit from this feature on their MIDI-only tracks.
What should this feature achieve?
The yellow, blue and purple columns should send CC Messages like the orange one.
The user already has hands-on access to CC74, CC22, CC17 and CC12 using the knobs primary function. Therefore, the pads could be assigned to secondary function, for example :
- Orange pads could send CC71
- Yellow pads could send CC75
- Blue pads could send CC19
- Purple pads could send CC13
This feature would allow direct access to 8 CC Messages via pads and knobs, and the user could map them using the CC Mapping menu.
Are there any workarounds?
Sadly no.
