Drum map, how to create and modify it with MDMFX?

[Rovalo]

Dear all,

I searched on the subject but could not find the answer. That is probably because I do not understand the concept of using drum maps in MDMFX.

I have in mind that a drum map is a table in which you can assign midi channels/notes to each MD input.
The table is edited with MDMFX and stored to a MD DrumMap slot with a name.
If I needed to send different midi notes from certain MD inputs, I could load a different drum map to achieve that.
But I do not see how to work with drum maps in MDMFX.
As a test I tried in MD to save a drum map, but I do not see how I can use names for those drum maps, or is that not possible?

Can someone please explain it to me?

I was hoping this could be a work around for my issue with loading configs using MD front controls.

There are no Drum Maps in MDMFX but you can use multiple identical configs in MDMFX which only differ in Notes assignment for inputs.

That makes it clear that I did not get the concept, and I still don't...

- Ok, since drum maps are not in MDMFX, I conclude these can only be used with MD front controls, right?
- I find 33 drum maps to be used, is that 33 drum maps per config, so 17 config slots x 33 drum maps?
- And all 33 drum maps (per config) are initially identical?
- And a drum map only has a number and cannot get a name?

Thank you for the explanation.

33 Drum Maps (it depends on number of MaxInputs) is a total number of Drum Maps, not per config.
