Hardware Controller Mapping

Bulevardi schreef op 15.08.2016 om 22:56 uur

Hi all,

 

Is there a way to map the controls of my midi keybaord?

I want to use the pads to assign them in a drum VST plugin.
Normally it should be possible via the 'customize controller' tab in the midi controller configuration panel, but apparently it doesn't do so...

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Dirk

Hi

Look up Drum Editor in the installed PDF manual available under Help.

Please read this topic before posting.

I know, but that's not what I wanted.... unless you know a way to save the chosen Tom's and HiHat's to specific pads you choose on your hardware controller this way? It's not in the manual.

 

What I meant was to customize the hardware controller via the panel in the preferences, so you can link each pad/knob/fader to a specific value in Magix, so you can afterwards do some 'midi learn' to any vst you want.

I know you could with previous versions of Magix Samplitude Music Studio, when selecting the function TrackvPot. But apparently Magix has disabled this or put this functionality out of it.

It was one of the reasons why I bought a controller with pads because I knew it was possible with magix... don't want to look for another DAW where these basic functions are possible...

I thought midi controllers were compatible with magix?

Lateral thinking can get things done!

But you still don't have a solution for my problem...


Magix shows some teasers for functions that are not available when you want to use them.
The Manual quickly goes over them without saying how to use them, because they actually are not available.
It smells a little like a rip-off...  Think it won't take long before I'll send a complaint letter.

Guessing this thread might be dead, but better late than never I guess.

This was a bit of a dog to find, but midi maps can be updated in the Midi Editor:

  1. Add a drum track, then double click on it to open the Midi Editor.
  2. Select your kit using the drop down menu near the top right (you should now see the drum kit vst graphic, showing you a pic of the kit with a keyboard below it, with keys highlighted where auto assigned to bits of the kit).
  3. On your controller, Tap the pad you want to map, while looking at the Midi editor, you'll see a channel flash to show its linked to the pad you're tapping.
  4. Then in the VST panel, click on the bit of kit you want to map to, while looking at the keyboard below it, and notice which note its mapped to.
  5. You can then update the note in the Midi editor to update the mapping (I found the quickest way to do this was to roll your mouse wheel while tapping the pad, watch the keyboard in the VST panel until the pad starts activating notes near the one your looking to set it to).

An impressively unintuitive bit of interface, but doesn't take too long once you know what you're doing.

I hope this post saves somebody some time.
