    HELP midi drum triggerig

    by vanakaru » Tue Jul 01, 2008 1:43 am

    I have a idea for a performance where large round screen is used for drumming. There would be 4 MIDI triggers in specific areas attached to the screen. I want to have a simple graphics like a growing arrow start from the point where the trigger is when hit.
    I can get MIDI from triggers to M8, but from there I am stuck.
    I could trigger different clips on selected layer. But when two clips are triggered at the same moment they freeze.
    Or I could map 4 layers to right positions on screen, but I can not switch on layers via MIDI.
    I looked through all the modules without any solution.
    I have wasted almost a day to try to figure this out and the show is in few days and I run out of time.
    Any ideas would help.

    I use a Trigger FInger to drum style trigger my layers.

    I do have 2 modes that I set on the Trigger FInger.
    Note ON - HOLD (latch)
    and

    Note ON - OFF (momentary)

    Assign the MIDI to the little box at the very left hand side of your Layer.

    In the regular interface you can assign only one active layer to MIDI. There is a Layer selection modul that will allow MIDI mapping to the layer, but with limitation.

    I succeeded my task with SET-MEDIA-TO-LAYER modul, by mapping MIDI triggers to media on different layers and setting play mode to once. Also there is a auto scale set to sound in and size to the amount that show small point.
