Drum Rack Pad - Change notes

Post by vjmandala » Wed Apr 22, 2020 6:58 am

Hi all,
Am using 10 Live Lite.
I have a situation where I am using a Drum Rack in a Track (session view) ie Track #1. No samples assigned in Drum Rack as I only want the MIDI notes to send.

In another Track #2 I am taking the MIDI From Track #1.

In the Track #1 I am trying to re-arrange the midi notes in the Drum Rack so that I dont have to scroll up or downs.

So rather than having say 16 notes C2 to D#-1 in the very bottom 16 pads, I would instead like to to have different custom notes from each Pad eg C#5, G4, C3.

How do I re arrange the notes. I tried using Pitch Midi effects on Track #1, but my external Midi monitor doesnt show any note changes. If I put the Pitch Midi Effect onto Track #2 (recieving Trk#1) then the Midi monitor shows a notes change. I need to customise Track#1.

Thanks in adv ladies and gents.

Drop a pitch effect on each pad/chain?

Thanks for your response jonljacobi. Sorry for my late reply/try. Unfortuantely it doesnt seem to work :(

I have the drum pad in track 4, no samples are assigned, just notes, track 1 receives the midi from track 4,
If I drop a PITCH -12 or+12 (thats all thats avail in lite) onto a pad, and adjust settings, seems like the pitch doesnt send across to track 1 no matter what pitch settings I try? https://obedia.com/how-to-use-the-pitch ... eton-live/

As I mentioned, I am not using audio samples in either track 1 or 4 at all in this instance. Midi is being used in an external program as a trigger.
