I want a way to route the instruments of a drum track so that the midi notes on the track can remain fixed even when the instruments of the drum VST vary. This is a situation I find myself in when using Battery 4 where the drum kits instrument midi varies widely. I know that the Receive to the drum rack is fixed by the midi note coming in and the Send of the rack is essentially fixed at C3 unless I want to change the pitch. I thought there might be a way of making the incoming note play another note on the VST. For example, C1 for the Kick drum coming in would play C2 to get a different version of the Kick drum.
I do have the possibility of doing this directly on Battery 4, but the drum rack also gives me the advantage of naming the instruments on the the rack.
Thanks
John

Re: Re-routing drum midi using a drum rack?
Why not add a sampler to a single pad on the drum rack, then drop different kick samples into the sampler chain, then control which chain of the sampler fires whenever you press that pad by mapping the sampler chain to one of the macro knobs of the drum rack...
Up to 128 independent samples can be triggered with a single pad if you use automation (or a physical knob) to change the chain selector mapped to the Macro knob.

Re: Re-routing drum midi using a drum rack?
I've done quite a bit of specific midi routing for drums, and its usually just really time consuming but not crazy hard or anything.
I'd use a scale effect, or maybe a bunch of them in different chains, and switch chain selection with the same button you switch drumkits.
Doing it note by note with midi pitch could work as well, but take more time, and you'd have to use the key selector section of the rack, maybe in conjunction with a chain selection rack.
