I'm looking to perform live with my SE-02 sequencer in song mode. My hands will be busy playing bass so I'm looking for a way to play the sequencer with a foot pedal. I bought a One Trick Pony and I can control the start/stop function with the OTP but it does not run the sequencer because there is no clock source. My question is If I Midi out from the OTP to the Midronome and then Midi in to the SE-02 will I be able to start and stop the sequencer by sending the clock signal? Will the midronome be able to be powered by the OTP. I am having a difficult time finding answers to this and someone pointed me in the direction of this device.

TIA

Hi

Well actually the solution to your problem is easy, it's called... the Midronome

Maybe you did not know: you can hook up a simple footswitch to the Midronome (actually you can hook up max 2) to control mute/unmute, play/pause, or tap tempo (or a mix of these if you have 2 footswitches). Pretty much any footswitch would work - use a keyboard sustain pedal for example, they do not cost much.

Then the Midronome will send both MIDI clock and start/stop to your devices. If you hook up 2 pedals and configure both of them as Start/stop they will each control start/stop on one MIDI output.

As for the One Trick Pony - interesting concept btw!! - I am afraid you cannot really use it as such with the Midronome. You could potentially set it up with a MIDI merger to merge MIDI clock from the Midronome and MIDI Start/stop from the OTP, or you could wait for the Midronome add-on modules where you would be able to power the OTP from and receive its Start/stop message...

But really that's a lot of troubles when the Midronome can do all of that already

Let me know if there is anything else that is unclear, and feel free to have a look at the full walkthrough (it's long though ) if you need to know in-depth knowledge about what the Midronome can do: https://youtu.be/hkw9dmLfkZQ
