kb37 midi mapping problem?

ok im using a kb37 with fruityloops. fruity loops recognizes fine. everything works fine BUT. it will only control one "channel" at a time. thats fine if i want to change notes of 1 "sound". but i would like to control multiple drum channels. and play my kb37 like a drum machine. i think this is called "mapping"? im new to all this so PLEASE help

    Re: kb37 midi mapping problem?

    The KB37 can only transmit (MIDI notes, CC's, PC's, etc.) on one active MIDI Channel # at a time.

     

    I think what you're trying to do is learn about how to create a device in your MIDI software sound device (if you have a drum machine-like sound device), where each pad/slot is loaded with a different drum sample. The key here is to learn how to assign each pad in that device to a MIDI Note # that falls into a logic that you desire.

     

    i.e. C, C#, D, D#, E (these are 5 consecutive MIDI keys (white, black, white, black, white) from the lower-left of the KB37. You have to find out how to set the "mapping" of the drum machine device's pads to those MIDI note #'s in Fruity Loops, so that those first 5 keys on your KB37 will trigger whatever sounds you have loaded into those 5 pads in the software drum machine device.

     

    You'll want to consult your Fruity Loops operation manual for info on how to do that.
