Hai Forum,

I have made this MFL drum instrument which synthesizes some drums and cymbals. Each sounds listens to a specific midi-note.
How can I use the Push 2 drum sequencer on this instrument. Creating a drum rack is not really working because it loads an instance of my device for every note. Then while editing you lose sight on which is playing what.
So i would like to use the drum sequencer only to send the plain midi-notes (and velocities?) to my instrument. On that interface then I can mix and pan the different sounds.

Sounds complicated, but did I make myself clear?

Best and thanks,
Peter

Try and just make empty pads/chains that just sends the right note and keep your device on a pad that responds to "all notes". Usually that works.

If you have multiple outputs in your device that you want to access you need to use External Instrument instead of empty pads and direct MIDI to your device and individual audio from it. Obviously the device needs to support how Live handles such things (I don't know how though).
