RE: Boss DR550 - Help
shit... i types it all once and it dissapeared.....
ok.... go to vst... highlight track..... set it to channel 10...... set it to be DRUM track...... set L & R cursor 1 bar apart...... double click between them... a PART appears... double click on it..... you are now in the drum grid.....
ok... go to the DR and go into the midi section.... assuming you can access ALL the drum sounds via midi, and are not restricted to accessing ONLY the amount of sounds as there are pads...... make a note of all the drum sounds... and their associated midi note numbers.....
ok.... back to the drum grid.... it has a grid on right.... names on left... & a seperator down the middle... drag the seperator across far right....exposing all the data.... name & set each row working down.... setting the OUT notes on the grid to correspond with the DR note IN numbers for each named sound.....
leave the in notes, or make them start at C1 for kik drum etc working up a semitone for each IN note...... then you can trigger them via a keyboard.....
ok... work down the list putting the most used sounds at the top... (you can drag and re-arrange the order descending by clicking and dragging on the note names so it's not a problem to grab a lesser useed sound, and move it up to work on it whilst keeping a visible window of all the sounds you're using for a particular track your working on.........)
when you've created it...... test it, by either clicking ON the little speaker ICON above the drum grid area... when you click twice slowly on a drum name, it sounds... or put in some notes and run vst....
once it's right... simply save as a .DRM - DRUM MAP FILE.... you can import the drum-map file into any arrangement to work..... that's it.....
