I thought I’d start with a basic drum beat, if you like this lesson and find it useful let me know in the comment section below and I’ll continue this series over the coming weeks. If you have any questions, feel free to check out our Redison forum.I had a couple of requests to go over some basic production techniques. This can be used to change the sound without having to reconfigure the Senstroke sensors, or to play notes not initially supported by the sensors. It is therefore possible to completely change the mapping of the notes assigned to the sensors. If you wish to transmit another note, you can indicate this in zone 3.įor example, if you write C#2: when you strike in the snare drum area, Cubase will receive the note D1 but will transmit the note C#2 to the VST, which will have the effect of playing the Cymbal Crash. When typing, the note received is D1, as indicated in the “I-Note” column (NOT to be modified). Zone 3 allows you to redirect MIDI messages. Thus, if you play a snare drum that has been muted with this function, the midi note will be received, but not transmitted to the VST. You can mute an item temporarily using this function. Zone 2, mute, allows you to “switch off” an instrument. It shows you the instrument and its associated note. We have created a drum map corresponding to the elements that can be configured on your sensors. Open the editor by clicking on “No Drum Map,” then click on “Drum Map Settings…”.Ĭlick on “Function” then “Load” to load the Senstroke Drum Map available for download HERE. If your VST is configured differently, then you will need to change the Drum Map. This feature is very useful in case some VSTs do not follow the MIDI note convention.įor example, Cubase receives the MIDI note D1 when the sensors are used as a snare drum. You can customize the mapping of MIDI notes in Cubase. It is usual to use channel 9 for percussion. Specify the MIDI Channel used by the sensors. This is where we will link the Senstroke sensors to the Cubase VST.įrom the MIDI inputs, choose SensorConnect. Now go to the left side of the Cubase interface, in the “Inspector” window. You will therefore have the following architecture: the VST, followed by the corresponding MIDI track. Click on “Create”.Ĭreating a midi track will allow you to receive information from the Senstroke sensors and transmit it to the VST. To do this, go to the right window of Cubase, and click on the “Rack” option.įor the purposes of this tutorial, we will use Cubase’s native VST, “Groove Agent SE”. In order to play with drum sounds, you must assign a virtual instrument (VST). You can download the software on the official website :
