I got an Akai MPD218 and I'm going crazy trying to map a Drum Rack like this. BTW Im on OSX 10.10
So, every time I press any pad with Auto Select on, it shows the corresponding Simpler device for that pad, as it should.
NOW what I want to achieve is this: Using only 2 encoders, press any pad and use that 2 encoders for Start/Length and if i press a different pad and use that same encoders will ONLY affect the pad I'm in. Basically I want the rotary encoders to be independent of the pad I'm in.
Thank you in advance!
HELP Is it POSSIBLE to map Drum Rack like this??
Re: HELP Is it POSSIBLE to map Drum Rack like this??
It should be possible by "emulating" Push.
Search on the web for Push's midi implementation; program you MPD to send the corresponding CC/notes; and then select Push as your control surface in Live's midi preferences with your MPD as in/out ports.
I can't test but I'm pretty sure it'll work.
