Hey Everyone,

I've been trying to practice my finger drumming and I wanted to know if there was any easy way to flip/reverse the layout of drumkits in standalone.

Im a lefty so all the kits i've made myself are reversed from the MPC expansion packs. I know you can reassign all the samples individually but I was wondering if there was a setting that can just flip the entire thing in one go within the software. It would definitely make my life way easier.

Thanks!

You can command-drag the pads in the desktop app to perform an in-place swap without having to copy to an empty pad as an intermediate step, but there's no one-step layout inversion operation that I'm aware of. The mappings are just human-readable XML files so one could write their own tool to do this if one were needing to do it hundreds of times.
