Need help to map JS to Addictive drums please.

Post by shadowfax_ »

Hi, I struggle with this mapping thing, I always end up with the hi hat being a tom or a tom being a snare..
on the kit page the select midi input mapping on the top right..do I select input as Addictive drums or JS?..same on the select midi output mapping, whichever one I've tried does not play nice with any kits...finding it a bit confusing..any help would get me out of this fog I'm in due my own stupidity..

thank you,
Kevin. :oops:

Hi Kevin,

In the Kit window, the left drop down (Input mapping) is when you want to translate midi from a 3rd party Drum instrument to drive Jamstix. The right drop down (Output mapping) is to translate Jamstix midi output to drive a 3rd party Drum instrument.

Thank you for your answer, so if I want JS to drive Addictive drums I put Addictive drums in the right drop down menu and presumably leave JS in the left drop down menu?
when I do this a window appears and I must select basic tom or black velvet tom etc, when I do this either a floor tom ends up as a snare or the hi hat is a tom or something similar..

sorry I'm so daft!

Yes you want to put AD in the right drop down. Then choose a kit layout in the window that appears that matches the AD2 kit you are driving. Check the "Add Missing Pieces", "Remove Unmapped Pieces" & "Force MIDI Output Only" boxes. If it is still triggering an incorrect sound, you are going to have to manually edit the .mdmap file to make things match up.
