40s VERY OWN DRUMS- 3rd Row of Pads in Each Kit Won't Record/ Play on my Midi Pads???

Ambitions13

Hi I'm having an issue recording any of the pad sounds I want from the 3rd row of every kit. Likewise the 3rd row pad sounds don't play at all when I hit the corresponding pad/s on my Akai Mini MPK2.

However when I click on the pads through the vst on my daw, I can hear the sounds just fine. But once I arm the track to record and click the pad while recording I get nothing.

This is only with the 3rd row of pads for some reason. All the other pads (row 1,2,&4) record fine and map to my Akai Mini MPK2.

Anyone know what's going on? or suggestions? This is messing up my work flow real bad, super irritating. Please Help 😫 !!

Pads are mapped chromatically from C1 to D#2 (MIDI notes 36 to 51). So third row pads are playing G#1 to B1 (MIDI notes 44 to 47).

What notes are the pads sending?

I was alluding to the fact that the Pads on the MPK2 might not be sending the proper notes (G#1 to B1 as you stated)

Thanks. How do I change/ re-map the 3rd row pads?

The 3rd row pad notes are E1,F1,F#1,G1

Ah that is third row if counted from the top (top row being row 1). I mentioned third row as counted from the bottom (because this is how mapping starts, pad 1is considered internally the bottom left one).

Have you tried the controller using Kontakt in standalone mode to rule out your DAW?

If it works Standalone then there is a configuration issue with your DAW.

Those are the correct notes for the third row from the top (second row from the bottom) so if it does not work in standalone the only other thing I can think of is that the midi channel assigned to those pads is different from the other pads. Changing those assignments would be a function of the Controller, so you would need to refer to the User manual for the controller for that information. You could either set all pads to the same midi channel (channel 1 for example) and then make sure that 40's drums is set to receive midi on Channel 1 or you could try setting 40's drums to receive "Omni".
