Yes i scoured the forum pretty thoroughly and didn’t see anything. Although velocity and volume are related, they are not the same thing. Imagine the difference between a drummer tapping a snare with their drumstick lightly and them hitting the snare with all their force.

Velocity is measured from 0-127, 0 being so “soft” it probably is not audible, 127 being as “hard” as the note can sound.

If for some reason you’d like to omit sending the Note Off command, refer to the target device’s MIDI manual to confirm. Adding the Note Off command should not cause any trouble even if it’s not necessary.

Note Off commands are not always needed with percussive sounds.

Without a Note Off command, some sounds will never stop playing back, or will follow their original decay rate and that can make things sound very messy.

Note On/Off - Much like what it sounds, a Note On command starts the playback of a MIDI note, while Note Off cuts off the sound.

Let me know if you’re using all of this as explained in the text or if there’s something else wrong.Īlso, some questions, are you on the latest BB version 3.8.0, and have you enabled Note On commands in the BB (Main Pedal > MID Settings >MIDI IN >Note On)? How is the BB sending the MIDI out, as audio or to another MIDI device? What channel is BB on? Question what are you sending to the BB? Note On commands in the general MIDI drum mapping format are going to map perfectly to most controllers, I’ll include info from our MIDI Maestro manual’s MIDI section. Even better would be if I could create drum kits that reasonably match the bb kits in the iOS app…but I’d be fine if I could even just do something basic like general midi drums and clean it up in the BB manager. I really just want to be able to create a beat/drum part wherever I am and port it to my BB. I’ve downloaded the spreadsheet posted on the forum that shows the BB drum mapping to midi numbers, but I can’t figure out how to configure the Fl studio export so that the drums get mapped to the right midi numbers for BBĭoes anyone use Fl studio this way? I’ve tried posting to the image line forum to no avail so far, and the documentation hasn’t been much help either.Īlternatively, has anyone found an iOS step sequencer/piano roll that easily exports to BB manager? I have both Fl studio mobile and Fl studio producer ed for pc.įL Studio mobile has an export to midi function, however, when I tried that, the notes from the different drums all ended up jumbled into a single “unsupported” midi number in BB. I’d like to be able to create drum loops on my iPad and transfer them to the BB.
