Yea dont think this is possible. Can i ask how many devices are you trying to send PC to? Or are all 8 voices coming from the same source? Maybe w the mod matrix you can pass that PC message on to other tracks that control the voices on other devices. Also there might be sysex solution but dont take my word for it

Special setup with the ko2 as an expander , solution is to use 8 tracks still have eight more tracks thx hapax and thank you for coming by

I suppose my question which might sound dumb but does each voice have a PC message? Or is the PC message global for all 8 voices? Not sure about the ko2 but it might be a limitation of the gear more than the hapax. Is it possible for the ko2 to be loading a voice on a channel while simultaneously playing back? Can you load individual voices in general? Maybe you could still use a main channel to send the PC but you make highly curated 8 voices programs.

Hello, ( there is no dumb questions :sweat_smile: ) yes , each midi channel on the ko2 support PC. I’ve tested my setup and it works like a charm :star_struck: ( my ko2 is on FW 2.0.1 becos they remove PC from the 2.0.2 :face_with_symbols_on_mouth: )

KO2 does not support multisample and you can’t make a kit with the same midi channel because the sounds will all play together if they have the same midi channel. Only drawback is sacrifying 7 tracks on the Hapax but thats ok…

Curious why it doesnt have different notes for each voice so you can keep everything on the same channel and voices dont step on eachother. Sorry not familiar w that device.

Having each voice on its own channel isnt ideal but at the same time it gives you tons of options and fx to play w.

So my guess is you still need a track for each individual voice and thats a non negotiable for the individual PC messages. Then use one of the tracks to create the actual controller that’s triggering the 8 voices from their respective channels.

I dont see a way around it without some ninja level fx routing that im not super sure of. Mod matrix and the output effect seem plausible.
