1st post whoot!


I have been trying to get the 809 Plugin to work with my pads.

I have seen videos where others are using it in controller mode and can use the pads with their plugin preset selection.

I can only manipulate the midi keyboard or when when the plugin is loaded up with the 809 window open.
Here I can use the midi-keyboard to play notes or click on the 809 window buttons.

I really want to use the pads on the MPC X instead, but I cannot seem to get it to work that way.

Visually, my pads are showing up as Midi (like any other plugin does) but I get no output from the digital or physical pads.

Any suggestions?

I did unfortunately, no sound will come out.

Now, if I drop to the last preset in the plugin (IIRC cymbals) I can get some odd notes from the A01~A08 but no other sounds to come through.

Very odd right!

Ok, so it looks like the only way I can control anything is with the digital keyboard (can't figure out how to re-assign Midi on pads).

Everything loads in from C2 to G8.

I need it to be from C-2 to G-8.

Is there a way to reassign the pads to a lower range?

Alright.
Looks like in pad perform, if I drop down two octaves, I can get the pads to play the notes from the 809 plugin.

Changing that has made it correct!

Whoop whoop!
