Drum Computer : change kit via midi

[Darlakein]

Hello,

I've searched in the manual but didn't find a way to change kit via midi, especially via a midi clip directly inside ableton live : is this possible ?

Thanks

Hi Darlakein,

yes, you can at least call up the global presets of DrumComputer via MIDI prg change messages.
Therefore, just create a folder called 'Midi Programs' beside your user folder here:
/Users/YOURLOGINNAME (your home folder)/Documents/Sugar Bytes/DrumComputer/Presets/Midi Programs

Then put the presets you want to load via PrgChange into this folder. After that you should see the Midi Programs folder in the preset menu.

Now you can send MIDI prgchange messages (for example it's Pgm2 for Preset2) to load the patches from that folder and they should load via program change according to their alphabetical order.
Of course this is limited to 128 presets. And nothing will happen if you call program 100 and only have 2 presets in the folder.

The "ignore program change" setting in the Settings Screen of DrumComputer should be unchecked.

Hope this helps.

Best,
Nadine
