ASSIGNING PADS TO MIDI NOTES
A common method of starting a song is to begin
with kick and snare tracks. The COMMANDKEY25
pads can be assigned to any MIDI note number that
you like, so for this example we'll set Pads 1 and 2
to trigger the General MIDI note numbers for the
bass drum and snare drum (MIDI note numbers 36
and 38, respectively).
1. Assigning the pad to be a kick
To set the MIDI note number, use the CC
number field. Click the pull-down menu and set
this value to 36 to set it to the General MIDI kick
drum note number:
2. Assigning the pad to be a snare
Setting Pad 2 to trigger the snare is done the
same way, only by choosing a different MIDI
note number (38 in this case):
ASSIGNING THE PAD TO TOGGLE A MIDI CC
BETWEEN TWO VALUES
A popular musical effect is to take an audio loop,
filter it heavily for certain sections of a song, and
switch it back to the full-open sound later in the
song.
You can pre-configure one of the
COMMANDKEY25 pads to send MIDI CC
commands to a filter plug-in that should be readily
available in your DAW software.
We will explain this using Pad 6 for this example.
Select it and then use the pull-down Mode menus
to select "Switched" and "Toggle":
These settings will allow you to send two different
values of a particular MIDI CC number each time
you press the pad.
There are a couple of MIDI CC numbers that
have been assigned the task of controlling filter
brightness (CC# 74) or harmonic content (CC# 71).
We'll use CC# 74 for this example.
Click on the CC number field and select the
Brightness controller number as shown:
