Mapping MIDI

Post by Carl Lofgren » Tue May 13, 2014 9:38 am

How do you guys remap incoming midi in Live?

I have a bunch of old midi clips from the days of my Atari and I'd like to use them in Live. I've been messing around with Drum Racks and the Scale tool, but it's all so overly complicated. Isn't there any simple tool that can just remap a bunch of incoming notes at the same time? Such as all C1->D2 D1->E1 etc?

So you are taking a midi drum track (possibly a GM track) and wanting to "transpose" this to a Live drum rack ?

Typically the easiest way is sim0ply to either drop your samples onto the right pads or manually just shift the tracks within the MIDI clip to line up with your hits. The effort to create a rack that could shift different multiple incoming notes to different multiple outgoing would probably take a while. Maybe M4l device for it but I just do some manual jiggery.
