Drum Rack, flexible MIDI-mapping per cell?!

Post by shhh » Thu Jul 25, 2019 12:58 pm

Hi,

I'd love to build a drum rack based on Operator and control it with an external MIDI-controller in a flexible way. My goal is to be able to control 8-10 values mapped with MIDI, but I'd love to do this for each cell. Ideally I'd love to map Freq, Decay, Transpose, etc… which in itself isn't a problem, of course. It would be fantastic though if I could just jump between cells and could use the same external Knobs to control just those values of the currently active cell.

Is it possible to somehow map the same parameters per drum cell?

Thx.

Hi, you could use push 2 to do this. Or a controller with multiple banks of cc encoders.

Thx for the reply! Push 2 would be able to control various values on a per cell basis (without re-mapping the controls, of course)? What do you refer to if you say "multiple banks"? We have a Nord G2 and Bastl Instruments 60 Knobs. Could these work?
