I hope someone can clarify this for me. Probably just my misunderstanding of MIDI mapping.
I found an image mapping the MIDI notes of different drums in Ezdrummer 2. for example, kick is C1, snare middle is D1, hihat C3 and so on. In the Ezdrummer UI, I can find under Details for each drum what the notes are, and they match this image.
I have a Korg Nanopad and an Akai LPD 8 , both small drum pad tools that do the same job. In the Korg Kontrol software I set the MIDI notes for each pad to correspond to the notes I mention above.
I verified in the program MIDIox that these are indeed the notes the pads are sending. But when in play them in Ezdrummer, whether standalone or VSTi, the pads trigger different notes. For example the pad that should be C1 triggers C0. The pad that should be C2 triggers C1. The pad that should be D1 triggers nothing, likewise the pad that’s supposed to be G2.
With the LPD8, the pads trigger the sounds I expect but the MIDI notes are different. So the pad set to C2 triggers the kick drum, C1, and the pad set to E2 triggers the snare, which Ezdrummer says is D1.
I’m a bit baffled as to how these things should link together. It’s not as simple as ‘set the pad for kick to C1’ obviously. Can anyone please explain this?
