Hi guys,
I'm finding I'm not sure where to turn for help on this topic since it is involving so many different pieces of equipment :-D Maybe someone here can help me out.
First-I'm on a Mac.
OK. I have a DIY Megadrum midi drum trigger set up with a whole bunch of piezo triggers that we use to control playback of events in Ableton.
There are 7 triggers. Each sending on channel 10 and each sending a different Note number from C1-A1.
The scenes in Ableton are mapped to play when the respective notes are hit. Important: For "Scenes" in Ableton, I can't choose a specific channel for Ableton to listen to. It just gets assigned whatever channel/note is being sent.
Everythign works great when doing one song, and up until now, we open a new set in Ableton for every song, and the new set has the same mappings. The downside is there is long lag between songs on stage.
So the solution is to make one giant set in ableton with all our songs and remap those triggers to different notes (or different channels but with the same notes) for each song.
OK-still following? Great. :-D
So I also have a Behringer FCB1010.
So what I want to do is figure out a way to use the Behringer to somehow change the channel of the incoming Megadrum notes. Basically, I need to be able to switch the banks with the Behringer...
Any idea?
