Use Pads to Send Midi Info

Post by husker »

I was wondering if it would be possible to use the pads to send midi info - for example, to use as a simple drum controller for VSTs. I can see in Mis-OX they send Midi data in normal mode, but as soon as I put it in DAW control mode, they do not send data.

I assume this would just be a no go, but though I would check here.

Trouble is, they're not velocity sensitive, so a bit limited as a drum controller.

However...

In DAW control mode, If you set to the Ableton Live template it will send C,C#,D etc.

Also, don't forget that you can set the main operational mode of the FA to be Midi local off (In system settings under the keyboard menu i think), i.e you don't have to use DAW mode.
