I'm getting mad.
I have read a lot of thread on the padKontrol, but i can't understand how to map each pad of a drum rack to the padKontrol pad i want. Why we can't just right click on a pad and do a "learn midi" things ?
Can someone explain a simple way to do this ?
How do you switch octave on the padKontrol ?
Why when i click on the square, Live don't automap my padKontrol ?
Thanks
padKontrol right click mapping ?
if you have Live 7 and Drum Racks...
First, you need the padkontrol (pK) to be set with the first factory default scene, KORG Std. 1 - you could load this from your cd or pK instalation folder. Alternatively you can reset the pK to factory defaults. You might want to save your scenes first. To do this
- Hold [Scene] and press [fixed velocity]
- Use encoder to select [All]
- Press [Setting]
now select scene 1.
- Open Preferences - (Ctrl) and (,) - go to the midi page.
- In the Instruments section at the top select padKontrol in the first column, and padkontrol port A in the second corresponding column.
- Close the preferences.
- Load a drum rack.
- hit the pads - they should correspond to the visible pads on the drum rack chain selector - drag that about and they will remap. This is much more flexible than a "right click, midi learn" approach.
the pK itself cannot switch octave. Using this method will do the trick. If you don't like it, place a Pitch plug-in in front of whatever instrument you are using, and map a pK knob to that.
p.s. you get a reply because of your name. If this does not work for you I doubt I have the patience to help any further.

OnoSendai... hehehe
arar: If you hve not installed the pK usb drivers (in Start Menu, Korg folder - called USB Utilities or something) then yours may be called USB Device X (where X = 1, 2, whatever) - I would recommend installing that... you may also have to do this for different usb ports if you plug the pK into different ports...
