5.1.2 Assigning 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
CONTROLPAD64's pads can be assigned to any
MIDI note number that you like. 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).
By default, the pads have their Mode set to MIDI
note. For now, we'll leave the mode setting to
Gate, so that notes stop playing 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.
5.1.2.1 Select the MIDI note number: Kick
The CC number fi eld is used to set the MIDI note
number. Click the CC Number pull-down menu and
set this value to 36, which is 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.
5.1.2.2 Select the MIDI note number: Snare
Setting pad 2 to trigger the snare is done the same
way. This time, we will be choosing a different MIDI
note number (38 in this case):
Now you're ready to lay down the groove for
your song, with pads 1 and 2 set to play the kick
and snare.
5.1.3 Assign a pad to toggle a MIDI CC # between
two values
One popular musical effect these days is to take an
audio loop, fi lter it heavily for certain sections of
a song, then switch it back to the full-open sound
later in the song. You can pre-confi gure one of the
CONTROLPAD64 pads to send those commands
to a fi lter plugin 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:
These settings will allow you to send two different
values of a particular MIDI CC number each time
you press the pad.
There are a couple of MIDI CC numbers that
have been assigned the task of controlling fi lter
brightness (CC# 74) or harmonic content (CC# 71).
We'll use CC# 74 for this example.
Click on the CC number fi eld and select the
brightness controller number as shown:
Next, we'll set some minimum and maximum values
(adjust them to suit your audio source):
The fi rst press of pad 6 will send a CC# 74
command with a value of 78, which will close the
fi lter down part way but still let a lot of the audio
pass through. The second press of pad 6 will send a
