Pattering Midi Learn in Modstep

This is one of the many helpful instructions I have received over my iOS/midi education this past year.
I wanted to make a new topic so I can help others and also so I can find it again when I forget!

To have a song/drum part in Patterning trigger within Modstep:

First go into ModStep and set up a track to MIDI-out to Patterning. Next go to the Song tab in Patterning and click MIDI Learn, then click the + sign on the pattern you want to trigger. Then go to ModStep and play whatever note or pad that you want to be the trigger for that pattern. Back in Patterning you should see the Plus sign stop flashing and see a note number under it. Repeat for each pattern. Then click MIDI learn again to turn it off and save the settings. Lastly, go to the pattern page and click MIDI Learn to assign a trigger to the play button at the center.

Now, you have mappings to trigger patterns, and one to toggle start and stop. Place those notes in a pattern in ModStep at the points where you want them to trigger patterns (and start/stop Patterning)

If I remember correctly, it's also important to set the pattern to play only once so that you don't get it looping around and turning things on/off over and over.

The student has become the master. this same method works for automating knobs in AUM. just send random ccs in a temporary template and midi learn in AUM and you're sorted.
