How to trigger drums with my midi controler pads?

[mikedamisch]

I work in reaper and my midi-device is an M-Audio Oxygen Pro Mini.

I can’t get it to work. I’ve selevted it as the mdid-device and set the channel to “any”. What’s next? What am I missing?

 

When I click “learn” under presets and tap my pads nothing happens.

Operating system: Windows 10

If you do not hear any sound, make sure that your reaper track monitoring (the speaker icon next to the “arm for recording” button is active. First you must make sure which MIDI notes your pads are sending, if any. Activate your track for MIDI recording and record a note with each pad. Take a note of which MIDI note number each pad sends. Since you are using Reaper, you can use JS Map Key as an input FX and set it up so that, let’s say, a pad which sends MIDI note 01 is sent to MIDI note 35. You just make a .txt note assignment file with the same structure as the default one, but you swap the input/output numbers and save with the appropriate name you wish. Then, use JS Map Key and load the same .txt setup file each time as an input FX.

Thanks a lot for the reply.

 

It turned out I was being a complete idiot and did everything but press “record” on the drum track. that’s why no midi reached the plugin…
