Midi controller confusion

Post by Newcomer.band » Sat Jul 19, 2014 1:19 pm

Hey guys!
I use an AKAI MPD32 to trigger scenes as backing tracks. I also use a MicroKorg to play midi over top of those backing tracks.

My question is: If I assign D#2 on my drum pad to trigger a scene, how do I set it up so that if i hit D#2 on my MicroKorg, it does't launch that scene? Basically, I only want my drum pad to launch scenes, while all the notes on my MicroKorg are free to play.

Any help would be awesome. Thanks!

In midi preferences, deactivate 'Remote' for the Korg.

Or change the midi channel of either your drum pad or keyboard. And then remap. They won't interfere.
