Assign midi notes to MuDrum

[myper]

HI, I'm evaluating MuLab, everything's fine. Now I'm testing the mudrum with my yamaha dd-65 8-pads drum.

I WOULD LIKE TO ASSING A SOUND TOEVERY PAD.

I had some results, but it seems some pad gets duplicated. So I ask if there's a way to assign the midi output note (C#2 for example is the upper pad) to a certain mudrum pad.

Any ideas??

Well so in fact you want to remap the incoming notes. This can be done using the Note Mapper module. So move your MuDrum 1 slot down in the rack to get a free slot above it, there insert a Note Mapper module, it's in MuTools -> Modules -> Event Processors. The Note Mapper editor should be quite obvious to use. It's meant for chords in the first place but it can also be used for other jobs like this one.

HI, thank you very much for the quick answer. I've used the note mapper but the problem hasn't been solved. I think the problem is that the drum pad outputs the same note. IS IT POSSIBLE?

Thanks

I tried tu put a piano midi instrument, and the pad outputs different notes for every pad. Back to mudrum, some pads play the same note. So now I don't know where is the problem. Any ideas????

I can't check your setup. Please check carefully how the MIDI notes travel from your pad to the MuDrum. Eventually insert a Event Monitor at certain points in the event signal path to check how the notes are going.

OK, I did it and found some interesting thing:

The two pad that sounds the same, trigger this midi note: G0 and G1

The other pads trigger only different note.

So Can it be that mulab can't tell the difference between g0 and g1? From the notemapper, every G from every octave are considered the same.

Now, how can I tell the yamaha to trigger another note (let's say D)? Do I have to use an external software or can it be done via mulab?

Thanks for your precious help.

First, Mudrum receives 1 octave=12 notes and a C1 would trigger the same pad1 as C2 and C3 and C4...
Pad2=C#1/C#2/C#3..., pad3=D1/D2/D3... etc.

Now internally ALL pads receive the same note C3. This way your samples will play with original pitch. If you move a snare from pad1 to pad2 it will still be the same pitch and not one semitone up.

If you NEED notes internally in Mudrum to replicate the 12 incoming pitches, you need to use Element 3 in each pad and add a Event Processor/Note Modifier module and transpose as required.
Please note that you can only play 12 different note pitches as all incomming notes will be mapped to C3! This is a property of Mudrum.

PROBLEM SOLVED!!

I used the midi shape shifter vst utility (https://code.google.com/p/midi-shape-shifter/) to map the G1 to D2, and now I can play the last pad!!

I attach the midi shape shifter very simple config.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

Now evaluating the full mulab purchase...
