Step Sequencer and Tracktion

I tried to use the ERA-Drum step sequencer with T2 and RMIV. Worked great until I tried to automate the pattern changes. When I changed patterns, it "gradually" moved to the next pattern. So moving from pattern 1 to pattern 2 did nothing, and moving from pattern 1 to 11 goes through every pattern in between.
Now I am hesitant to try DK+ for drums, if it has the same limitation it wouldn't be useful to automate pattern changes on any step sequencer within Tracktion.
Does anyone know any workaround? Otherwise my only option is to use Reason's Redrum with Rewire, but it seems to make so much more sense to have the whole song contained in one program.

DK+ works great with Tracktion - the patterns can be selected by midi note and change immediately.
Best 13 quid I've spent on a VST. But hurry and download the demo and give it a go - the group buy offer is due to end.

Try this:
Create a MIDI clip that contains a long C note.
Go to the first settings page in ERA and click the little dot next to PROGRAM under MIDI RECALL.
Place the MIDI clip you created in tracktion at the begining of the track that ERA is filtering and click the PLAY button in tracktion.
Now Era should switch to pattern 1 whenever in gets the C note you placed in the clip and the next 15 note will switch it to the other 15 patterns.
Now all you have to do is create 15 more MIDI clips each containing a note one tone higher then the first C and call the clips P1, P2 etc. so you will remember which clip switches ERA to which pattern (I color code the clips).
Use those clips to switch between the different patterns.

Well the group buy price was held over for a time but it seems to have gone up a bit... 38 US dollars. Still as cheap as chips though..braj wrote:Link to current group-buy?operandx wrote:DK+ works great with Tracktion - the patterns can be selected by midi note and change immediately.

It is at least a workaround, but it's a much more musical process to play the track, and hear the drum patterns change as you hear it. I'll give it a shot to see if I can get used to it, though.drlazy wrote:...

Maybe it can be done by actually hitting keys on a keyboard as it's playing and recording the automation?
Pardon if my question get out of hand, maybe I should play with it and also download the DK+ demo...

of course you can, ERA will respond to the notes she learned whether they come from a clip or a MIDI keyboard
