How to assign drum pads of mpk mini in Ultrabeat????

This question has probably been answered before but i could not for the life of me find a thread or response anywhere that helped me solve my issue which is:
I have an mpk mini controller it has 25 key keyboard, 8 drum pads with 2 banks, and 8 knobs. I am new to Logic and especially Ultrabeat and have been having major trouble when it comes to assigning my controller. Specifically i need help with how to assign the drum sounds in ultrabeat to the drum pads on my midi controller. I have heard that ultrabeat has a learn function but i cant seem to figure out how to use it in Ultrabeat. The keys on the keyboard work fine, when i hit them i can hear the drum sounds in Ultrabeat and can see the coresponding keys on the Ultrabeat interface lighting up so that is all well and good. But im trying to figure out how to program/assign my 16 pads(8pads w/ 2 banks) in Ultrabeat itself without having to use the editor software that came with my midi controller...is this possbile? I can see @ the top of the Ultrabeat window 4 drop down boxes grouped as "midi controller assignments" but when i click them and select "learn" nothing happens when i hit the notes with my mouse on Ultrabeat and then try to hit the pad i want that note to be assigned to. I know im missing a step here or doing something wrong.... Any help with this is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

How do you assign certain sounds to certain triggers of a midi device in logic? I >cant figure it out for the life of me :\
You can create a Mapped Instrument object in the Logic Environment and cable to the Ezdrummer Channel strip. Set the Mapped Instr object to "No Port" and create a track for the Mapped Instr in the Arrange. Double click the M.I to open its dialog. You will find a column where you can change/transform the Note Pitches. For example SN1 from D1 to E1 etc. You can select the M.I track and record events on it. Note during play the note events will be transformed in real time but if try to record you will fined that your original notes are recorded. If want to record the transformed notes then you must patch the M.I between the Physical Input and the Sequencer Input in Click & Ports layer.

  • How to map drum pads on Impulse 25

    I am understanding Logic Pro very well, thanks a lot to the Logic Pro 9 book I bought (by David Nahmani).
    But....I have a Novation Impulse 25 controller with drum pads--I cannot figure out how to assign drum sounds to the pads.  Very frustrating!  Any ideas?

    If you go to Logic Pro -Preferences -Display -General there is an option to display Middle C as C3(Yamaha) or C4(Roland). Have you tried changing that. I don't think it will make any difference. Might be worth a try though.

  • Please help! I have an I-Pad and a mini I-Pad. Both contain the same information. If I delete from one the info or e-mail is automatically deleted from the other. How can these two I-Pads be made separate entities so I can erase everythiing on only 1

    I Hope someone can help me! I have an I-Pad and a mini I- Pad.
    Both have identical content, e-mail , etc. How can I  or what can be done to make them 2 separate I -Pads so that I can erase the content from one but not the other.
    As it is now , if I. delete anything from one,the same is deleted from the other. What action can be performed to make them separate entities.

  • Axiom 49 - MainStage - Cannot get drum pads to work

    I'm just starting MainStage and using an Axiom 49 M-Audio keyboard. I got the message to select Preset 1, I didn't know what that was so I clicked ok without doing anything in the Axiom 49. I get sound and everything else. I seem to be able to assign controls with the sliders and knobs, but when I try to assign any of the 8 drum pads on the right of the keyboard they don't work. It seems to "Learn" the pads when I try and assign them, but I can only click on them with the mouse in edit and perform modes. However then they don't make the same sound that was previously assigned to them, just a general midi instrument with the assigned note under Hardware Assignment.

    Hi,
    Try to re-program the drum pads to a more useful MIDI message, such as a note.
    Please consult the keyboard's manual on how to do that.
    Cheers

  • Axiom 49 - never been able to get drum pads to work

    I'm using an Axiom 49 M-Audio keyboard. I seem to be able to assign controls with the sliders and knobs, but when I try to assign any of the 8 drum pads on the right of the keyboard they don't do anything. It seems to "See" the pads, they do respond in the transport window as (from TtoB, LtoR) 71, 105, 106, 107, 74, 102, 103 and 104. However then they don't make any sound ever.
    I recently tried "Learn"ing them in MainStage for the first time. Still Nothing.
    Please help. I would really appreciate it. Sorry if this is completely rudimentary, but any direction would help.
    Thank you!

  • Using a drum pad and MIDI keyboard - beginner question

    Is there any way I can have my pad controller to be a dedicated drum pad? So no matter what insrument is selected, the pad just plays drum sounds? I have my MIDI keyboard and pad controller plugged in at the same time, and (for example) when I switch to a piano sound, the pad controller does too.
    How can I change this?

    It's up to the Keyboard, what does the mpk manual say?
    Can the Pads transmit on a different MIDI channel than the Keyboard section?

  • Can I map a drum pad to Tap Pad in Delay Designer?

    Hello Everyone,
    I am trying to map a drum pad (M-Audio Trigger Finger) to the Tap Pad in Delay Designer using MainStage. For some reason MainStage will not let me map a Drum Pad screen control to the Tap Pad on the plugin. The screen control inspector won't show the Map Parameter button when a drum pad is selected but it will if a button is selected. The Trigger Finger is set up to send a note when the pad is hit. I would like to be able to tap out a rhythm on the drum pad and have that rhythm be recorded by Delay Designer - like what happens when you click out a rhythm on the tap pad with a mouse. It seems like this should work but I must be missing something. Can anyone help me out with this? Many Thanks in advance.

    Hi Koan22,
    In my experience, Drum Pad objects can only be mapped to either MIDI notes, or items in the action menu (located in the parameter mapping browser). This looks as if you would not be able to map a Drum Pad object to this parameter in Delay Designer.
    However, I believe I may have found a work-around.
    Simply add a button object to your layout, assign that object to the incoming trigger pad (MIDI Note Message), then map the button to the desired parameter. ( in this case Tap Record for Delay Designer).
    ** One more thing to note (Delay Designer specific): Don't forget to add a button for the "Last Tap" parameter to stop the tap clock.

  • How to assign values to server group when you parallelly client-copying

    Hello all,
    I'm now trying to create server group.
    Currently, I use serial process, or default settings, when client-copying.
    But I want to implement this in parallel processes.
    Due to this, I have to create server group and assign a lot of values to something I don't know!
    I want to create a server group, but don't know how to assign values to ones like "Max. requests in queue", "Max. no of logons" and so on.
    Could you please advise me how to allocate values to the resourses shown below;
    Advanced : 1 *I think "1" is the flag for advanced settings
    Max. requests in queue
    Max. no.  of logons
    Max. disp. of own logon
    Max. no. of WPs used: *should be the total of SM50, I guess
    Min. no. of free WPs
    Max. no. of comm. entries
    Max. wait time
    thanks in advance,

  • Why are drum pads not a valid MIDI input the screen controls pallet?

    I'm slowly getting around to creating a Concert that represents my controller setup and realized that the drum pads have a different behavior.
    When setting up my Korg nanoPAD as a drum sample controller, I have to map it to a keyboard and not a 2x6 drum pad group. If I do not assign it to a keyboard, I cannot associate it with a channel strip playing back an EXS drum kit. They keyboard drop down in the MIDI input properties for a channel strip will not list the nanoPAD as an input even though I have already associated the pads with their virtual counterparts in the Layout tab.
    I can manually assign each pad to a MIDI note, but that sends the note event to all channel strips and I have no control over that.
    What gives??
    It looks really lame to have another keyboard widget in my concert layout when all want is a representation of the 12 pads on the nanoPAD.

    In edit mode, you should be able to create mappings that effectively transform your incoming drum pad note into another note on a specific channel strip. You can create multiple mappings per drum pad in order to trigger different sounds on different notes per channel strip.
    If you don't want a keyboard you can also use the "MIDI activity" object, it acts like a keyboard but takes up less space and doesn't display layers. It also glows to let you know that MIDI activity is coming in. Since all of the routing happens through screen objects, you need some sort of object there to do the routing -- either the MIDI activity object or the keyboard. The drum pads let you have additional flexibility since they allow you to make mappings (including changing patches, etc.), but the routing still needs to happen through one of the two routing objects unless you want to make each drum pad directly as I explained above.

  • No sound using the akai mpk mini

    I just bought the MPK mini and I'm getting no sound when I press the keys. Logic recgonizes the keys are being pressed but no sound is coming out of my computer speakers... Does anyone know how this could be fixed?

    Have you loaded a *Software Instrument* on your track?
    If you have, have you set the right Output for it?
    If you have, have you set up your Audio Interface correctly in *Logic Pro>Preferences>Audio>Devices>Coreaudio* ?

  • How to assign shortcuts to special characters?

    Hello everyone,
    I have a question about assigning shortcuts, so here I go: I would like to know if there is a way (and if yes, how) to assign personal shortcuts to special characters on my newly acquired MacBook Pro running Mac OS Lion.
    The problem is that I use the Swiss-French keyboard layout and that I cannot use directly the keyboard to insert characters, such as 'Ó' or 'Í' (capital letters), whereas – strangely – I can insert their respective lower case characters. I also happen to use various other characters from different languages, such as 'ð' or 'þ', to which I would like also to assign personal shortcuts, so as not to constantly have to change my keyboard layout for every single one of them.
    Thank you very much for helping me out!
    Cheers!

    Wow! Thank you very much for your very clear explanations Barney-15E!
    Here is what I get when I try to do what you said (and what is actually what I have been doing up to now).
    So basically this is what I get when I open Keyboard Viewer (I remind you that my keyboard layout is Swiss-French):
    I then have two options to type either of the two accents:
    Shift+^ to get `
    Option+^ to get ´
    The first accent works perfectly well. I can type all the needed letters bearing a ` accent, regardless of their respective case.
    However, a problem arises when trying to type capital letters accentuated with  ´ accent.
    Here is what I get for the lowercase (Option+^):
    Everything is fine (except that the ý is missing... Which is another concern of mine)...
    But look what happens when I try to do the same for capital letters.
    What the devil happened to the Á, Í, Ó and to the Ú? Only the É seems to remain...
    And thus my problem. I cannot type Ó,... Using this method. What I get is a silly ´O or ´I... Uppercase letters are not accentuated.
    I hope this time my problem was easier to understand...
    The best way to solve this would probably be to assign shortcuts to special characters, but as mentioned above, apparently such a method does not exist, unfortunately...

  • Looking for MIDI Drum Pads

    Can anyone recommend some good midi drum pads that work well with GB? I was previously using the pads build onto my M-Audi Axiom keyboard, and despite them being cheap and M-Audio, they worked relatively well until they stopped working entirely. Looking to spend up to $500. Thanks.

    Check out my response to your Q in the GB 8 forum.
    For $500 you could get something with decent sounds as well - check out Roland Handsonic, NI Maschine (don't know how well it works with GB though), other grooveboxes by Roland, Akai, Korg, etc.
    If you're not looking for something with sounds but only as a MIDI controller for GB, you might look into another Axiom. They now have some "pro" models with extra features.
    If you just want pads, you might be able to repurpose a used drum machine on the cheap.

  • How to assign numbers in external number range?

    Dear experts,
    Since NUMBER_GET_NEXT can only be used to assign numbers in internal number range, how to assign numbers in external number range?
    So far, I only know the NUMBER_CHECK function module to deal with external number ranges and it only check a number whether it lies in any external number range or not, but it doesn't update any number range status. What I need is a function module like NUMBER_GET_NEXT that supports external number range.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Haris

    With external number range, there is no updating of the number range objectt. The only thing you need to know is whether the number you wish to assign is allowed according to the external number range. And also check if there isn't already an object/document with the same number in the database.

  • How to assign a task to Reuestor in OIM 11g

    How to assign a task to a requestor (who has raised a request for other user).
    I created a Task assignment adapter and mapped variable in Process definition as
    Map To: Request Info
    Qualifier: Requester User Login
    Still it returns null and default task is assigning to System adminstrator. I am pasting the Task Assignment code here. User key value coming as Null.
    Do you have any idea what is the exact mapping required in Process definition.?? Pls note: I am using OIM version 11.1.1.5.0
    public class TaskAssignmentToUserAdapter {
         Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("COM.IDM.PROV.COMMON.ADAPTERS");
         public String getTargetType(String targetType){
              return targetType;
         public String assignTaskToUser(String userKey,tcDataProvider dataProvider ){
              System.out.println("The user key value:" +userKey);
              return userKey;
         }

    Not sure what sample code I can give you, but you need to do a query in your adapter like:
    select REQUEST_KEY from OIU where ORC_KEY='?'
    Here ORC_KEY should be mapped to the process instance key.
    Once you have the Request key, you can use RequestServcie APIs to get the requester information. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/apirefs.1111/e17334/oracle/iam/request/api/RequestService.html#getBasicRequestData_java_lang_String_
    Or if you don't care then get the requester key from the request table. Thus you can have the final query as:
    select USR_LOGIN from USR where USR_KEY=(select REQUESTER_KEY from REQUEST where REQUEST_KEY = (select REQUEST_KEY from OIU where ORC_KEY='?'))
