I love how the Expansions have Groups that are predefined as immediately playable drum kits in Maschine using Pad Mode.
I'm disappointed in all the other drum-kit "instruments" that I have invested in (eg: Abbey Road series) that do not work this way.
I'm looking for the most efficient, fiddle-proof workflow to leverage these awesome kits the same way, or similar. Let's say, as long as I can use the finger-pads to drum I'm happy.
Some really hacky workarounds I've read:
- resample everything and build your own Group (not a chance)
- figure out the MIDI-note of each sound and then somehow remap the Keyboard to play the MIDI-note you want on the pad you want (trial-and-error)
For Kontakt-based instruments I was hoping there was a MIDI-learn feature like you have with CC data on your controller, but I wasn't able to get the Learn feature via right-click the way I can in Komplete plugin in my DAW
Any other suggestions?
