5.1.3 Assign a couple of Pads to MIDI notes
The natural thing to do when you’re starting a song is to lay down the kick and snare tracks. The TUNAMINI pads can be
assigned to any MIDI note number that you like, so for this example we’ll set Pads 1 and 2 to trigger the General MIDI note
numbers for the Bass drum and Snare drum (MIDI note numbers 36 and 38, respectively). Generally the drum sounds will
be sent on Channel 10.
By default the pads have their Mode set to MIDI note, so when you select each Pad we’ll get right down to selecting the
MIDI note number and velocity values. Let’s leave the other setting to “Gate” so the notes shut off when you lift the pad;
you can try the “Toggle” value later if you’d like the MIDI note to stay “On” until you hit the pad a second time.
5.1.3.1 Select the MIDI note number: Kick
The CC number field is used to set the MIDI note number, which makes sense: there are 128 MIDI Controller numbers and
128 MIDI Note numbers. So click the pull-down menu and set this value to 36 to select the General MIDI Kick drum note
number:
We’ll show you how to set Pad 2 to the Snare drum note number in section 5.1.3.2.
5.1.3.2 Select the MIDI note number: Snare
Setting Pad 2 to trigger the snare is done the same way, only by choosing a different MIDI note number (38 in this case):
So now you’re ready to lay down the groove for your song: You have Pads 1 and 2 set to play the Kick and Snare, and
Pads 7 and 8 set to Stop and Start the song.
5.1.4 Assign a Pad to toggle a MIDI CC # between two values
One popular musical effect these days is to take an audio loop, filter it heavily for certain sections of a song, and switch it
back to the full-open sound later in the song. You can pre-configure one of the TUNAMINI pads to send those commands
to a filter plug-in that should be readily available in your DAW software.
We’ll use Pad 6 for this example. Select it and then use the pull-down Mode menus to select “Switched” and “Toggle”:
