Piano Roll - Naming notes/pitch lanes

Post by jace_(nz) » Mon Dec 27, 2010 11:35 am

I would like to see Piano Roll ability of Naming notes/pitches For Drum parts, some vst show up these drums names already, other we are stuck with note names, i would like to be able to rename and replace with the current drum part name, or save as a preset, but this is also good for Vst sampler parts too.

You can use a Live Device Rack and customize it with the note names that you need.

Insert the rack on your MIDI track the rack from:

Live Devices > MIDI Effects > MIDI Effect Rack > Tools > GM Drum Map

I'm using the rack GM Drum Map for this purpose, changin the note names and saving it with another name.

Hmmm no Tools and GM Drum map under MIDI EFFECT RACK in Live 9.7 ?

Is this located somewhere else now ?

Not sure I get this... why not just use the Drum Rack? The drum part names show up on the piano roll automatically, but if you don't like those names, you can rename them to whatever you want.

By using the drum rack, you also get the ability to unfold the rack in Session view so that you can adjust individual drum sounds in the mixer. :?:

It's for making a midi drum map for a real 909 or 808 so don't need the additonal options of the drum rack..

That doesn't make sense to me. I drive multiple drum machines with drum racks. That makes sense to me. Options are good however.
