Articulation not MIDI-mapped

[NoBruno]

Hello,

I would like to utilize a crescendo on the ride cymbal, but the crescendo articulation shows “not MIDI-mapped” in the Grid Editor so I can’t use the articulation. Can you tell me how to make the crescendo articulation active so that I can use it in the Grid Editor?

If the particular ride was recorded with a crescendo articulation, and it’s not currently turned on, you will need to turn it on in the Articulation Menu.

See details in the manual. Scroll to the Articulation Menu section in the link below.

Keep in mind that there will only be an on/off button if the Articulation you want was recorded. It will be grayed out of its not available.

Once turned on, it should appear in the Grid Editor by clicking the specific kit piece expand “arrow” that reveals all the articulations.

Hi Scott,

Thanks for your reply. In the Articulation Menu, their are two headings under which articulations show up, “All Articulations” and “Not MIDI-mapped.” The crescendo articulation is listed under the heading “Not MIDI-mapped.” However, it has an active power button, I have turned it on and it is  not grayed out.  I can also trigger the crescendo by clicking on it in the Articulation Menu or by clicking on the cymbal in the drum kit itself.

When I go to the Grid Editor, the crescendo articulation is grayed out on the left and the grid area where I would normally write notes shows “Not MIDI-mapped.”

Please see screen shots below.

Thanks,

Doug

Ah. I see now. This is with an added ride and not a default ride that is already mapped and just just turned on. Sorry I missed that.

So, select the Crescendo articulation in All Articulations menu. Then select MIDI Mapping Property box and click the 3 horizontal lines menu button. It should just show the Crescendo articulation now. Click the 3 horizontal lines menu button for that articulation and you should have some options. Selecting Add Suggested Note: is the easiest option. Or you can select a note of your choosing.

It should then show on the grid editor.
