Drum mapping in midifiles ?

[Piotr1967]

How to change snare drum or other percussion instrument in midifile ? Is the procedure the same as in the Control Style section ? E.g. in Ketron SD9 it is very simple and well solved.

Yes you can do this easily for a whole or any part of a song.

Let's say that from measure 1 through to 8 your snare drum is note D2 but you want to change it to D4
in other words transpose it 2 semitones up.
(In this example, I'm assuming that the song is in 4/4)

• Load your MIDI file in SEQUENCER MODE
  Press MENU
  Select SONG EDIT
  Select "TRANSPOSE" tab
  Make sure "Track" is set to your drum track
  Value represents the number of semitones you wish to transpose - we want D2 to D4, so enter "+2"
  Start Tick (beginning of measure 1) is the starting tick in the song to apply this change to e.g. "001.01.000"
  End tick (end of measure is the ending tick e.g. "008.04.192" being the last tick in measure 8
  Bottom Note will be "D2"
  Top Note will be "D2"
  Press Execute
  All D2 notes will now be D4

You posted this in the PA4X forum section (I moved it to PA1000 section) because it seems you have a PA1000 hope this is correct...

Hope this helps
