Hi,
I need the drum sheets from the midi files I purchased to be able to practice the intros, grooves, fills etc!
How to best get these midi sequences on a printed drum sheet?
Any best practices or other tips how to exercise and learn ?
thx and best regards,
Klaus
My first question is: Why does every single move we want to make in this wonderful world of digital music production require gobs and gobs of down time trying to make sense of something that should make sense on its own? My second question is: Does there come a time when we get to be musicians again instead of constantly being in diagnostics and troubleshooting mode? Is this supposed to be an improvement over analog, back when things actually worked?
The aggravation of the moment—and, rest assured, there’ll be another right on the heels of this one—is that what should be a simple process of remapping an instrument to a keyboard note isn’t working. I’ve seen videos where it is shown to work, like this:
1: With the Mapping view selected, right click the snare drum to see the various articulations in the Instrument panel of the right column for that instrument.
2: Right-click an articulation in the list to show the orange keys in the keyboard that the articulation is mapped to, in this case, the “Center” snare articulation. The “Note” window next to the “Remove” button identifies the key/note as “D1”.
3: Click the “Remove” button, the “D1” shown in the “Note” window disappears and the key on the keyboard goes from orange to white, meaning that the “D1” keyboard note is now unassigned.
4: By all reason—and as shown in the videos I watched—activating the “Learn” button with the “Center” articulation still selected should mean that if I click again on that white D1 keyboard note that I just cleared, the “Center” articulation should “Learn” that keyboard note and capture it, showing “D1” in the “Note” window again.
Only, it doesn’t. Why? What overwhelmingly complex item am I missing that’s keeping this apparently simply function from functioning?
The end goal is that I’ve created a Midi preset where I’ve cleared all Midi notes so I can map the kit to my own arrangement in the keyboard. Is this going to call for such a high level of frustration that I need to get blinding drunk before approaching, or is there a more simple solution?
Thanks.
