I use a Nord Drum 3P, which doesn’t allow you to set the midi output notes on a per kit basis, it is global. So I tried out the Midi Enforce Scale plug-in, which is very cool, but I have to figure out which Major scales match my minor scales - if that even works? I wish it duplicated scales with Minor naming.
Is there any plug-in (or work around) that allows custom scales? This would be very helpful if a single knob could select a new scale for each song like the Midi Enforce Scales does.
Was it your issue anyhow related with what @danmh suggested? I’m also not sure if I totally got what you mean.
If it is, I’m personally not sure if a plugin just for this would be extremely necessary. Although I can understand your need
I’m still a bit confused. But with the MIDI Transpose you can indeed transpose the MIDI notes that you input on your MOD device.
So for example, you are sending a C1 from your MIDI controller into the MOD device and you want to “turn” this C1 into a G1, you can use the MIDI transpose 7 semitones up to achieve this.
Just to reply to all this. My Nord Drum doesn’t allow me to set midi notes on a per kit basis, so I need to switch scales in the Mod Duo.
I used the chart @danmh provided, to figure out what major scales my minor scale songs were in, and assigned that to a knob on the Duo, and voila! This entirely works. Also, my ND only has six pads, so I’m not even mapping all notes and certainly not using any blue ones. .
So I have what I need. But if I was using custom scales which were more complex, as I do in Logic, I would prefer a midi-translator of some kind. But at that point I would probably just use something other than the Nord Drum. Every other drum pad out there lets you save note assignments per kit.
