Midi Learn for Toggling Sounds?

[DivinatorMysticus]

Hello, I have a quick stupid question...I've tried reading through the forum to no avail.

Is there any way to go to the next voice/preset/sound without having to click physically with my mouse?

I want to start playing live with my midi keyboard/controller and need to quickly switch between sounds. I've already created a custom bank folder with all my sounds in order, but I can't figure out how to toggle to the next sound using just my keyboard controller. Is there a way to midi learn to get to the next sound in the order?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

which host?
what OS?
what controller?

etc etc....

Sorry, for Dune 3. I’m currently running Reaper on a Windows machine. I’m using an M-Audio Oxygen keyboard.

Your keyboard should have left and right buttons on either side of a select button for changing presets. You may need to select an option in reaper to receive program change messages.

* I use my qwerty arrows, and I have "receive program change messages" turned off. The computer keyboard is right next to my controller, easier to reach with my right hand, and ensures that I can't accidentally change presets from multiple places.

Wow, to toggle between presets via the arrow keys would be just as awesome. I just can't seem to figure out how to get it working...I've literally tried everything.

If you're talking about the Arrow Keys on your qwerty keyboard it does work but you may have to set your DAW to pass keystrokes to the plugin. Each DAW is a bit different so refer to the owner's manual.

Hey, did that work? I want to toggle between sounds using my keyboard as well. I am using my Mouse to do so, I thought this is the only way but now I think it is possible since you asked. So have you managed to do this yet?
