Remapping MIDI Input on a Mac

[aekorps]

I've created an instrument rack for using my MPC2000 with a rack of Impulse modules. I've had to use Scale effects to get the notes to match with the Impulse uses (c3-c4). But the notes aren't actually getting remapped, it's just an effect so when I go to edit the notes, none of the Impulse sound names are there and it can be hard to identify which is which.

Is there a way to remap the MIDI before it comes into Live on a Mac? A solution within Live would be ideal but it doesn't seem possible.

I wonder if this will be possible using Max for Live?

Am I the only one who's ever needed to do this?

2 options on the mac I know of and use are midi pipe (free) and bomes translator.

Do you know how they work? I've tried MIDI pipe but I can't tell if it's possible to hi-jack only certain note events. I'll check out Bomes Translator.

Yes midi pipe should do it, look at the "key mapper" in midi pipe.

BTW Does your hardware not allow reconfiguring which button on sends what data?

Or use a Drum Rack instead of Impulse, then you can drag the drum samples round to the actual notes your MPC is sending.

Yeah I could do that. I was thinking more for backwards compatibility with older stuff I worked on before Drum Racks existed.

^^ screw it man, look forward, you'll see the light.

I think you may be correct sir. I've been healed!
