Hi all
I've got the Mikro in midi mode and it's set up in Logic Pro as a Mackie Control. I've loaded an instance of Drum Machine Designer and I'm trying to learn the pads but it's not detecting the Mikro. All the pads on the Mikro are lit yellow and the screen says midi mode, any ideas?
you can set that up , look at your 3rd image , on that page under assign/ hit , I think you set the min and max to the same amount
I'ver downloaded your template, how do I get it into controller editor?
cheers
the new ones I just posted , drag them into the column with your existing template
The old ones , were actually configurations , ( which can be a group of templates )
Under file ( in controller editor) you will see open configuration/ save configuration and open template
So Ignore the old ones
Download the ones with the extension -.ncmm3
When I'm just using machine 3, do I select factory template as number 1? Is that how it works?
Thanks again for all your help.
yes the mikro only holds one template , so move the template you want to the top of the list (1)
Do you mean when using maschine 3 as a plugin ? Maschine standalone you wouldn’t use a template
thanks for that, yeah I meant as a plugin
as a plugin, yeah the idea in logic , is to use the mikro in midi mode , so it recs in logic , and triggers maschine
I don’t know how you intend on using maschine , personally I think it is only good for 1 group
In any case , all 3 of those templates should work fine , the pro and basic one are the same apart from the mcu controls on the extra buttons , and some of the colours .
Those have 8 groups of Pads , in controller editor you’ll see I’ve name a group maschine , that marks middle C (blue on the pro , green on the basic )
The page before it is c2 ,(green on the pro , red on the basic ) if you set the group midi input routing to drumkit that’s the page you want
The drum kit template , just has one page for 16 pads starting at c2 , for the group midi input , drumkit setting , you only want to use that one , if you are just gonna use it as a drum machine , ie no pitched instruments
There’s also some mcu controls ,
Edit
some of the other pad banks have some mcu , and some have some banks of notes , I was experimenting with
I should of made the pad colours the same across the templates , but you can change them if you want
fyi
On the drumkit template, the mikro 3 , note repeat button is set to REDO , but on the pro Template it’s set to SOLO , so you might want to change that
ok thank you, very helpful
doesn’t look like midi mode is required anymore
that's great , can I ask why do you need to transpose each sound after kick , 1, 2,3,4, what does this mean?
that’s because , otb the drums sounds are triggered by c3 , so if you’re using 1 midi channel you need to transpose so , the snare is triggered by c# and so on , otherwise c3 would trigger all the sounds at once, which is kinda what happens if you don’t set sounds to midi notes before you updraft and drop .
If at the earlier step , where you set the input mode to manual , you selected drumkit , you’d have to transpose the kick by -12 , the snare by 11 and so on , because drumkit mode starts at c2
don’t worry it’s not transposing the actual sound/sample , it’s just the midi trigger
I’m a bit lost I’m following your instructions, but don’t understand how I transpose the sounds, would you mind taking me through this process?
go to the sound midi output , there’s a knob that says transpose, after channel
Kick stays at 0 , then increase each one in numerical order , so snare (sound 2 ) is 1 , sound 3 is 2 , sound 4 is 3 , and so on untill sound 16 , which should be 15
Each increase represents the next note , so starting at c (0) , c# (1) , d(2) , d#(3)
thank you!
