nuttama.blogg.se - Alesis control pad manual

New pieces of kit to check out who 'intuitive' they are. what i'm trying to do isn't what i would call 'advanced' stuff and i like to try and muddle my way thru Manuals of either Mainstage or the Alesis thoroughly. It could be something to do with Alesis and i must admit i haven't read the There's a lot of issues here but maybe someone can see some kind of correlation between them. when i had more than one patch in my list (in the left-hand column) it would play (at a lower volume) the sounds from the next patch when it wasn't even on that one. it's not a velocity issue cos it registers hits even at very low velocities.

does it matter if the pads are mapped as drums pads or buttons?.

when they do sometimes function and when the button flashes yellow is not synonymous.

why do the previous and next markers only occasionally work?.

why do they not flash yellow at every hit?.

why does it only seem to allow one button to be 'momentary' - every time i switch it off it switches itself back on when i return to that button.

I 'built' my hardware device in layout using 'drumpads' first and also tried mapping them as 'buttons' to see if that helped. I say 'seem' because it happens so rarely it's hard to say what it's doing.

The 'previous marker' and 'next marker' buttons don't seem to do anything although very occasionally (maybe every 20 hits) they 'seem' to work. I've read the manual and searched the web, the buttons have been 'learnt' and midi info is being received but only the Play functionality will work correctly. So i have an Alesis control pad and Mainstage and i'm trying to control the Playback plug-in to do basic transport functions - Play and Previous and Next Markers.
