Reason's Redrum & Midi 2009-05-26 21:58:45 Reply

I'm sure many of you have a Axiom 25 MiDi Keyboard like I do.
Is it possible to use all 8 of the pads on the Axiom 25 with Reason's Redrum?
I can load a drum kit I created and it for some reason the pads only work for like 1st wav sound, the 3rd, the 7th, and the 10th. WHY! how can I assign or map the trigger to the pads I want? I just really want to know can you even assign pads on the redrum? or at least change them idk. I updated my reason to 4.0.1. and now Axiom 25 is listed in the devices, which helped a lot because now the transport controls work :) but i really want the PADS TO WORK! :*( because its easier drumming for me...i'm so used to the MPC.

Sounds like something that would need to be fixed on the midi controller end over the reason end.

The problem is that Redrum is a sampler that works in the same way as the NN19 and NNXT. The drum samples are mapped from C3 up to whatever, spaced every semitone. It sounds like your controller triggers midi notes out of the pads, but those notes it is triggering are not the ones redrum responds to.

I think it is likely there is a programming feature on your controller that lets you tell what note each pad should trigger. Infact, pretty much every button on modern midi controllers should be assignable to midi notes, and this is almost always handled hardware end or by software that you installed to use your control surface on your computer.

I don't mean program in the computer sense, there will be an option in the controllers menus to assign buttons to the pads, probably reached by pressing a certain button combination. It's not as complicated as it sounds.

hey look. it's that fuckin' manual thing that was in the box. check out section 3.5. it will tell you exactly what you wanted to know about how to assign notes to the pads.

Well you're obviously working too hard and require a payrise!

Or I dunno...some more ram? An oil change?

Tap the first pad, hit 'Data 1' then 'Program' then put 36

...repeat for the other ones (37 and up). To save what you did, hit store and then any number from 1-20 (the keyboard should come with presets by the way, so you're probably going to be rewriting over something). To reload it, push recall and then put whatever number you assigned it to. I suggest downloading Enigma, which lets you program this stuff through your computer.
