Hello,
I have an expander and I want to send with my MPC (OSJJ4.99) MIDI notes below #35 (B0) which seems to be the smallest value I can send !
How to do this ?

Impossible due to OS limitations. U might try to create separate track with lowest notes possible and transpose them in ur computer via some kind of software eg: midi ox or midi translator. But as i assume u want to avoid soft and do it directly in ur MP so... impossible.

use an external midi keyboard controller
or record a note and transpose it to that note number in an edit more
or use a transpose midi controlling VST plugin

Its not impossible, just not possible when creating DRUM programs on the MPC.

My MPCTool software can create patches that will send midi notes below 35 from the mpc pads.

Check out this zip of files created by MPCTool - Just load one of the programs in the 'chromatic' folder. They are named using the midi note that is assigned to pad A-01.

hello,

i cannot download MPCTool from zShare : doesn't work : it always shows the same ads and does not provide download link...

what I would like to do is to play MIDI note #25-35 with THE PADS.

is it possible ?

weird - the zshare works for me - just click on the 'download now' button and wait about 20 secs to get the link.

Okay just used MPCTool to create 3 programs for you, you can get them in a zip i've uploaded here : http://sharebee.com/8d2516dc

One PGM starts at midi note #0 (on pad A-01) , one at note #12 and the other at note #24.

yes, i have already explained this. just do this :

1) download the zip of 3 PGM files

2) load them into your mpc + select one of the PGM files (they are set to output midi note 0,12 or 24 starting at the first pad in the first bank)

3) set the midi channel on the track to output to your midi device/laptop

4) hit the pads!

Ok thank you very much !
It works well...

Now, just another thing.... ;) It's for a specific drum expander
(drumstation)

I don't want chromatic scale, but
A1 - A16 : I'll do it myself ;)

and then :

B1 - #24
B2 - #25
B3 - #27
B4 - #26
B5 - #30
B6 - #28
B7 - #34
B8 - #29
B9 - #32
B10 - #31
B11- #33
B12 - #56
B13 - #62
B14 - #63
B15 - #64
B16 - #70


Impossible to do it with Bluebox (less than 35 : impossible) nor
with MPCTool (just chromatic).

Could you help me or explain me the .PGM format so I'll do it by myself.
Or maybe take 10 seconds to do it for me ;) ?

Thanks a lot a lot in advance...

:oops: I just found something : with the JJOS program editor
(MODE + PAD11) it is possible to do it directly...

Thanks for all !
