Next, select Pad 8 so we can set it to the MMC command for “Start”. This means the CC
number must be set to 2:
Now you should have Pad 8 set to start your song and Pad 7 set to stop it. Of course you
can assign those functions to any pad you like, now that you know how to do it.
5.1.3 Assign a couple of Pads to MIDI notes
The natural thing to do when you’re starting a song is to lay down the kick and snare tracks.
The ORCA PAD 48 pads can be assigned to any MIDI note number that you like, so for this
example we’ll set Pads 1 and 2 to trigger the General MIDI note numbers for the Bass drum
and Snare drum (MIDI note numbers 36 and 38, respectively).
By default the pads have their Mode set to MIDI note, so when you select each Pad we’ll
get right down to selecting the MIDI note number and velocity values. Let’s leave the other
setting to “Gate” so the notes shut off when you
lift the pad; you can try
the “Toggle”
value later if you’d like the MIDI note to stay “On” until you hit the pad a second time.
5.1.3.1 Select the MIDI note number: Kick
The CC number field is used to set the MIDI note number, which makes sense: there are
128 MIDI Controller numbers and 128 MIDI Note numbers. So click the pull-down menu
and set this value to 36 to select the General MIDI Kick drum note number:
We’ll show you how to set Pad 2 to the Snare drum note number in section 5.1.3.2.
