Anyone know if it's possible to toggle local control via MIDI?

Anyone know if it's possible to toggle local control via MIDI?

2006-12-07 by iconoblastic

I've been paging through the PEK manual looking for a way to toggle
local control via MIDI, and I'm coming up blank. According to page 63,
when it comes to setting global parameters via MIDI, "some parameters
are not used in order to maintain the closest match with standard
evolvers." Since global parameters appear to be sent in a sysex
message with value between 1-17, and local control is number 26, it
doesn't seem possible to do this via sysex.

Does anyone know of another way to turn local control on/off with some
sort of MIDI message? (or if I'm wrong and it CAN be done with a
sysex, please let me know!)

What I want to do is hit a foot pedal and - BAM - instantly turn local
control off and turn on an Arp effect in Live so I can add
impossible-to-play little flourishes in the middle of normal playing.
Because that would be sweet.

Thanks,
Mike
