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.

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.

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.

Cannot map drum pads on my MIDI controller

I have a Novation Impulse 25 MIDI keyboard, and I am trying to map the 8 drum pads it has.
What I want is the drum pads to trigger notes from C2 and higher. So it would be 8 in total from C2 to G2. By default they are triggering C3 and higher.
On the keyboard (internally on it) I mapped the pads correctly and when I press the first pad, on the little display of the keyboard it shows "C2 triggered".
But my Logic keeps interpreting it as C3
Would be grad if you could help me out.

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.

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.

Mapping drum kit to Yamaha DTxplorer

Hi all
I have recently bought a Mac Mini and Logic Pro X. My band have previously been recording the drums on my ancient eMac and GB '06 using the inbuilt sounds in the brain of the DTxplorer but would now like to make use of the drum kits in Logic.
I've connected the drum kit to my audio interface with a MIDI lead and can trigger sounds in Logic but the drum sounds aren't all in the 'right' place. For instance when I play the kick or snare drum I get a cymbal sound, and none of the other pads have a kick or snare sound, so I can't get round the problem simply by switching jack leads.
I've looked up how to map to an external MIDI device on here but the instructions in the Software Instrument Manual suggest selecting V-Drums by clicking a drop down menu in the bottom left corner of the Drum Kit Designer window, but there is no such drop down menu on this window on my screen! This is driving me mad as I can't work out if I'm just missing something really simple!
I don't even know if the V-Drums setting would be configured to match the Yamaha but if anyone has any tips on how to attempt mapping it as such I'd be really grateful!
Thanks a lot
Leon

Holy toledo, I'm in the same boat as you. I've got a yamaha dtextreme and a set of Widi X8 wireless midi transmitters and I can't get the freakin' think to even register a single hit; even if I do load a software instrument kit. It's driving me nuts! It is the last bastion of 'original content' I need on this thing. HELP!!!!!!

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

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.

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!

EZDrummer - mapping drums to individual tracks?

I've already asked over at the EZD support forum, but only got one response having to do with Cubase. I was wondering if there were any Logic users here who know how to map each drum from EZD to individual tracks instead of having the midi loop/pattern all reside on one. This way, I can add effects, eq, etc... to each drum kit piece as well as give me more control over mix levels and so forth.
Any assistance appreciated!

Did you download the Logic template here (hopefully it will work in Express):
http://www.toontrack.com/free_downloads.asp
Also, are you using EZD -> multi-channel -> AUX
That will give you control of each EZD mixer output in Logic's auxs for EQ, effects, etc. To demix each instrument to place on MIDI tracks seems impractical as there are at least 10 different notes for hats alone, I recall.
Maybe this thread will help:

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.

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?

How to Map in SAP ?

Hi
My client is Automobile industry.In the presales process my company delivers the goods to the dealer.On transit the goods are damaged.Instead of returning the goods the dealer him self repairs the goods and sends the credit memo to the company.The company will send the engineer for inspection and give the clearance certificate for the dealer.With reference to this we have to create the credit the customer.
How to Map it SAP....?
Plz send me the reply
Regard's
Prasad.

Dear Prasad,
As you r not taking d goodS back (or dealer is not sending them back) thus it's not a case of a Returns. Also there is no issue with d invoice either thus even Invoice Corrrection Request will not b generated.
Thus it's a simple case of creating a Credit Memo Request for the required amount i.e the amount claimed 2 b spent by d dealer. This will obviously have a block which can b removed by d engineer who went for inspection (or some1else depending on d working of d organisation). Once the billing block is removed the dealer can b issued a Credit Memo in d usual way.
Hope it answers ur query.
regards

How to Map the Unit field in case of DSO and INFOCUBE

Dear Experts,
I have a issue ,Please help me to solve this
I have DSO as provider ,
And, i have to map transformations btw the Datasource and DSO.
In generic Data source, i have unit fields like BASME,MEINS (Quantity units) & STWAE (currency field)
and normal Quantity fields like KWMNG,OAUME(quantity related),OAUWE (value related).
In DSO data fields as Key figure info objects like 0Quantity (which have 0Unit as unit of measure) and some other key figures which have there respective unit of measure in info object definition.
So you Please tell me how to map the Quantity ,Amounts, unit fields to key figures that we have.
(How it will be for both DSO and Info cube is there any difference?)
Edited by: AnjunathNaidu on Jan 18, 2012 1:20 PM

Navasamol ,
If it is works ,will u please tell me what is the difference ,if the transformations btw data source and DSO and
what is the difference btw data source and info cube and btw DSO to Infocube or cube to cube .
And i have seen the Quantity fields and there respective unit fields are mapped directly to key figure info object
in case of Info cube . Its working fine .
If only 1:1 mapping allowed in DSO data fields key figures and there respective unit of measure characteristic.
why this difference btw DSO and Info cube can any one explain me in detail.
Expecting your valuable suggestions.
Thanks & Regards,
Anjunath Naidu
