Which hardware for sequencing with 5 midi units

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>So... I’m a noob midi guy. Been playing guitar and bass for a long time but bought a few synths/drum machine in the last few years and I want to plug all them together via MIDI so they play nice and all. But I need help. </p> <p>The roster - elektron digitone - bass station II - elektron modelample - volca beats - boss rc300 -boss ES8</p> <p>So..the idea was to use the elektron as the main sequencer (digitone has 4 midi tracks!) BUT it doesn’t have a song mode (my bad, should’ve checked but I thought it was a given) so we are stuck. I know there’s a workaround to song mode with MIDI messages but we’d like to keep it on the simpler side.</p> <p>Right now.</p> <p>Sequencing instruments in digitone Using digitone midi track to control the bass station Sending clock and midi info to model sample, volca beat and rc300</p> <p>Expected results We would like a piece of hardware where we could program our patterns, press play and our backing tracks would play as expected, without us doing a single thing.</p> <p>Play. Sequences/patterns are launched on devices. They drop in and out because we programmed them that way. They stop at the end of the sequence.</p> <p>Question: Is there a machine that can do that? Master clock, send midi program change, save multiple songs? </p> <p>If not, we are thinking of using the ES8 as a MIDI program change master. Use 4 or 5 of the switches per patch (still need some for effects) to start patterns on the digitone, and its sequencer would take care of the modelample, bass station and volca beats.</p> <p>Any direction or hardware suggestions?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Bassman1976"> /u/Bassman1976 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/cwdhow/which_hardware_for_sequencing_with_5_midi_units/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/cwdhow/which_hardware_for_sequencing_with_5_midi_units/">[comments]</a></span>
