Hey!

I have an external Drum Computer (Akai XR10). Setting it up as External Instrument is no problem, but I can only play it in scale mode. Is there any way to use the Drum Rack mode for external devices like this? When I try to put the External Instrument on to a Drum Rack Pad, I can only play one specific midi note (C1? C2? not sure), no matter on which note i put the E.I...

Step sequencing any external Drum Machine would be sooo cool.

Thanks.

Aaaaah, I found it!

Under the I-O of the drum rack there is a "Play" (note) option. Now I have to change 64 notes manually...
Guess this should work with software DrumMachines as well.

Nooooo, even better!

Just set "Receive" (under I-O) to all and all notes are set correctly.
Also works with any PlugIn (tested with BFD2, Battery3 and Kontakt).
This is easy..

Hope this monologue helped anyone.
