first of all im a newcomer so 'hi'
im totaly nweb to the whole music production topic. have been playin drums for quite a long time and finaly decided to take it to the next level. bought an audio/midi interface a drumkitlike midi controller [roland spd-s] and the software itself. plugged everything nicely. but unfortunately cant find the way to make drum rack's pads respond to midi signals send from the controller. ableton does recieve the signals [the yellow light flashes whenever i hit any of roland's pads] but no sound is played. ive put a kick sample on all of the drum rack's pads but still no sound is played. is it any kind of a more experienced technique which i obviously dont know yet or ... yeah OR what do i have to do to make it work nicely so that i put desirable sounds into drum rack and can go crazy playing MIDI drumkit ?
i also started using NI Battery where everything wokrs great. i trigger the sounds via the sampler. unluckily, ableton's drum racks DONT. i tried to turn the NI Battery in Ableton as a VST but still with no result. can anybody help solve my problem ?
*as posting a reply please remember im a total newb
cheers,
edit : forgot to mention i can succesfuly map roland's pads to follow any other action such as launch scene , increase the volume etc. the DRUM RACK though is of biggest importance and yet cant figure it out
as i said : im newbish
