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.

Hi! I just read this and I think it gives a clue, but honestly I didn't understand.

I have bought an edrum kit (Millenium 750) and they work on their own, but when I connect to the PC via USB the drumpads are assigned to different drum sounds in Vita Pop Drums for example.

I'm looking for a way to map the MIDI from the edrums to trigger the right drums sounds within Samplitude (X8).

Any help to accomplish that?

yours

@martin-leisborn You obviously need to change the MIDI notes your drum set sends to Samplitude. The virtual instruments simply play the notes they receive and the drums are premapped. Please check the manual of your e-drum on how to change it's settings. Samplitude itself cannot change the input in realtime.
