Put it in front of the SD2 plugin, and directly all the notes in MIDI clips on this track are named. This first rack just provides names to all of the ca. Scenario 1: Just giving names - "Avatar_Named"
I suggest that you "install" them by just copying the three patches in that ZIP file to your Live library / Presets / MIDI Effects / MIDI Effect Rack folder. These Live 8 racks can be used with SD2 and the standard Avatar library. Each of them can be used in different scenarios, depending on how you work. I have created in total 3 MIDI effects racks which help organizing this chaos a little bit. For that reason I decided to invest some time and make (at least my) life a little bit better. To say it differently: I am just too old to always memorize that, say, "Hihat Open 3" is mapped to D0, whereas "Hihat Open 4" is mapped to C3, just to give an example.Īlways complaining is not a solution, you are right. Yes, I know, there is the GM Standard mapping, and I guess you have to bow to that a little bit, but nevertheless the MIDI mapping is - as I said - more or less randomly. Unfortunately, the order in which these sounds and articulations are mapped to the MIDI notes appears quite randomly to me. Since SD2's Avatar library has quite a few sound mappings, there are quite a few MIDI notes needed to be controlled if you want to make use of all these sounds. Nice tools, nice sounds, nice everything. I am in principle a happy user of both Ableton Live 8 and Superior Drummer 2.0. Trommelmeister wrote:Hello!
