Luilu · July 30, 2022, 4:26pm

Hey Folks. im trying to do an mc 707 instrument definition. I Found the Template from the digitone quite usefull. Till now i maped the cc Values. Can anyone tell how to map the Drum instruments to a note I Mean kick C3, Clap D3, Hhat E3 for example?? greetings.

thanks che for the Definition. It seems like the MC707 has a different note mapping for the Drum Instruments. I chaged the mapping so that the drums match. greetings. I Also made a Instrument Definition. I´ll try to improve the definition in the next weeks to add standard automation lanes and the 4 control Knobs.

TYTYTY! Works great!

I made a couple of instrument defenitions for the MC-707 as well (one for a synth track, and 2 for the drum tracks (upper row of 8 drums and lower row of 8 drums).

I was under the impression that I uploaded them to this forum, but apparently I didn’t. I feel sorry now!

IIRC the main difference between the one above is that I sorted the CC’s by usability (things like cutoff and volume first, other less useful things like legato switch last) instead of by CC number.

Anyway, if anyone is interested, I can still upload them?
