Map a range of notes on the midi keyboard to launch a clip

[vs]

Hello.
I would like to map a range of midi notes (C1-C2) to a midi clip. This clip is a drum track.

If I map it the standard way through midi mappings - it works. But midi is transposed according to the note that I press on my keyboard. As this is a drum track - this completely changes it making this feature unusable.

Do you know how to freeze this track pitch or maybe another way of launching a drum track from the range of midi notes.
Thank you

You'll have to remind me, what does the manual say about this, isn't there an offset or something?

Cheers

It’s intended as a feature for playing Live clips chromatically, so it’s working as planned.

What exactly are you trying to do with this mapping? You might be better of making multiple clips, each starting at transients and mapping those to keys. Or creating something with either Simpler or Drum Racks.

Mapping key range to a clip changes pitch. It is nice for automatically transposing thugs while they are playing with Legato on, or just triggering samples at different pitch in general.

I'm actually using this to mimic my hardware synth - Alesis Micron accompaniment function

When I play on the lower register of my keyboard - C1 -C2 octave the bass patterns start automatically.
And I would like the drums start in the same time when I hit notes in C1-C2. The transposition feature is helpful for the bass pattern but inconvenient for the drum track. It surely works as intended as previous poster mentioned.
I'm sure there should be a way to overcome this and I'm searching the easiest way.
I can surely create identical 12 clips and map each one to each note.

I thought that one clip with range midi mapping had a chance to work...

It sounds like you'd only need to trigger the drums once? Could just map drums to a single key outside of that key range. Unless you need momentary behavior. Then it sounds like it might be difficult

yep, as powerfull as Ableton may appear it is still difficult to do exactly what some hardware synths doing.
I was playing around all night yesterday ans still it doesn't do similar things what akai miniak/ alesis micron would do...

I will have a look into max4live. Maybe it will dive me a possibility to program drums/bass the way I want.

Actually I use Alesis micron with a live band and I like to be able to launch stop bass/drums with my left hand on the keyboard. (gate mode). In the same time I'm launching bass pasterns with my left hand. Both of it in the octave C1-C2. I want to be able to start / stop instantly to follow the live band. Alesis also has a latch function that is very useful in live situation. This is helpful to latch the pattern/drums that was launched in a gate mode and free your left hand.
