Sequence notes for a drum pad

Hi,
I am looking to buy an alesis performance pad or roland spd-s or something of the like so that i can hook it up to mainstage via MIDI and play samples from behind my drum kit.
I was wanting to know if you could set a sequence of notes to be played by a pad, for example, if i were to hit pad 1 once it would play, say, a C1, then if i were to hit it again E1, then for a third time, G1 and finally for a fourth time, C2 and then when i hit it for a fifth time the sequence would reset back to C1 to play the sequence of 4 notes when i choose to.
If possible i'd like to be able to do this for more than 4 notes as well.
Its basically so i can get something like this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_zUoMlMX8U
If you watch you'll see every time he hits a pad it plays a different note for the amount of notes in his sequence.
Sorry for the long message,
any help is appreciated

the pad itself uses MIDI to communicate with the Mac. They bundle software with the pad that is not UB. So if you are not intending to use the editor software, it is irrelevent.

  • Suggestion for a drum pad interface to use in Logic 7.2

    Hello all. I'm looking for suggestions for a drum pad interface to use with logic 7.2. I was very interested with the Korg PadKontrol but unfortunately it is not UB compliant. According to my understanding it will only work in Rosetta. Can anyone else let me know what pad interface you use (UB compliant) and your experiences with it. I am doing alot of research on what to get but I really believe in Feedback from "real life" users. Thank you very much in advance for your time!!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Converting note mapping for addictive drums to use midi kit

    My midikit is wrongly assigned for addictive drums. When I hit the hihat I get a crash and so on.
    the manual says:
    If you want to use GM midi files, or connect an e-drum kit to AD, you need to convert the note mapping. In many hosts you can use a “drum map” to remap the notes from GM to AD. There are several drum maps available for free download in our User Area!
    Eh?
    Please help me.
    Timo

    Hi
    You have two possible solutions:
    1) In the drumkit controller, remap the MIDI notes transmitted to suit
    2) In Logic, create a Mapped Instrument object in the Environment, and sort out the MIDI Input/Output note mapping to suit. Then either:
    connect this object between the Physical Input and the Sequencer Input objects onthe Clicks and Ports layer when you wish to record MIDI from your drum controller with AD (disconnect Mapped Instrument when you have finished with the drums).
    or
    Cable the Mapped Instrument object directly to the Instrument Channel Strip (Mixer Layer) which has the AD plug. With the  correct Arrange track Click on the  Mapped Instrument object using the MIDI Thru tool to re-assign the Arrange track to the Mapped Instrument object.

    What exactlyare you seeing on the iPad's screen ? If it's the iTunes icon and a cable then that means that it's gone into recovery mode - you will need to connect it to your computer's iTunes and you should be able to use that to reset it back to factory defaults and you can then restore/resync your content to it.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

    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

  • Using controller pads as drum pads

    Hi, I've got a microKontrol which has 16 drum pads on it. Now that this controller has been fully integrated into logic as a control surface there seems to be no way of me outputing a midi note from any of the pads. Please could you tell me if this is the case. I seem to be able to use the pads to do just about everything else (key presses, automation, etc) but not this really simple task.
    Thanks matt.

    A Midi note is a different animal for a controller to send out, but you can build a translator in Logic. Using Transformers to define what note each pad is going to have.
    You probably have to hit the pad twice for an off message.

  • Office 2013 sequencing recipes for App-v 5.0

    Hi,
          I want to create a sequence package for Microsoft Office 2013 in App-v 5.0 . I got some information about Deployment Tool Click To Run.
          But I need proper sequencing method of Office 2013.
         Could anyone please help me on this.
         Thanks in Advance.

    Starting from App-V 5.0 SP2, we're not limited to Office365 licenses to deploy Office 2013 using App-V. Also volume licenses can be used. But sequencing is only needed for Office Add-ins or other customizations afaik.
    Supported scenarios for deploying Microsoft Office as an App-V package: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2772509/en-us
    How to make your AppV package:
    Download the CURRENT version of
    ODT (Office Deployment Toolkit).
    Adapt the XML file to your needs.
    Then use the /download parameter against ODT's setup.exe to download the sources files.
    You don't need the /configure step (only to install your downloaded packages native, can be handy to install it on your sequencer thought).
    Last step is to generate your AppV5 package with the /packager switch.
    It's to easy, something will go wrong ;)

  • SolMan 4.0: Support Team determination via Access Sequence not working

    Hi,
    from all the documentation I've read I got the following understanding for automatically determination of Support Team via Access Sequence (well, for one possibillity at least):
    - Maintain Sold-to-Party in IBase IB52, especially country attribute. DONE
    - Maintain Organizational Structure in PPOMA_CRM and create Org. Units, Business Partner No. get assigned automatically. DONE
    - The Organizational Unit "Support Team" has the same country attribute as the Sold-to-Party and was marked "Obj. Permitted in Determination". DONE
    - In IMG under SolMan -> Sc.-Specific Settings -> Partner Det. Proc. -> Def. Partner Det. Procedure select Procedure "SLFN0001" -> Partner Functions in Procedure -> Select "Support Team" -> Details, in block "Partner Determination" under "Access Sequence" select "Organizational data: Support Team by org. model". DONE
    If I now create a support message in a satellite system the Support-Team will NOT be assigned. Instead if I have a look into transaction data of the message under tab "Actions" there is an entry "When message is created, find support team responsible" with processing parameters RULE AC13200137, PARTNER_FCT SLFN0003.
    This makes absolutely no sense to me, why is the determination rule 13200137 used (which contains no entries at the moment) instead of the assigned Access Sequence?
    Am I missing something?

    Marco Kipka

    Hi,

    This is getting quite urgent, since I'm working at a customers site and try to implement the describted scenario.
