Padkontrol as control surface means midi channel wonkiness?
Padkontrol as control surface means midi channel wonkiness?
The long and short of it is that the pads are set to send on midi channel 10 but come in as midi channel 1. not the biggest deal, except i want to have different behavior based on midi channel.

I have owned 2 unit of padKontrols, and both worked just fine. No wonkiness what so ever.Surreal wrote:The long and short of it is that the pads are set to send on midi channel 10 but come in as midi channel 1. not the biggest deal, except i want to have different behavior based on midi channel.

right... the padkontrol works. but, if i use it as a control surface, the track receives midi from it on channel 1...regardless.

Well, mine didn't. And as you've already discovered, you can change the channel each pad transmits to.Surreal wrote:right... the padkontrol works. but, if i use it as a control surface, the track receives midi from it on channel 1...regardless.

So, here is the thing. each pad is transmitting on 10. it IS transmitting on 10. right now. the TRACK RECEIVES ON CHANNEL ONE. this happens when i use the padkontrol as a control surface so that the pads map 'automatically' to drum rack.
