I need to record some midi while finger drum jamming, and then go back and browse kits by loading them to hearing a different kit in the context of the the rest of the song.
The problem is that I don’t always play with the horizontal trad. layout of 1:kick 2:snare 3:HHC but.. a vertical layout 4:kick 8:snare 12:HHC (i.e. if I rotated the box anti-clockwise 90deg.)
If move my pads around and the record some midi that’s great, but when I swap the kit it does not remember the pad moves, so the wrong drum part sounds. i.e I have to load each pad individually rather than a whole kit.
If I create a separate group for midi output only and do a midi-loop out of the box and back in to another group receiving midi, that works, but I have to use an external sequencer due to Maschine not being able to turn off recording midi, while still responding to midi. i.e. the ‘arm’ feature in daws or other boxes.
better ideas anyone, am I missing a trick here to be able to use custom pad layouts and swap out kits?
