I am trying to create a complete new drumset on the SR18, but I only seem to be allowed to assign sounds to the 12 pads, not the whole set. Am I missing something? I do not use any patterns, the SR18 is just a module for Cubase to play, so I want to 'customise' an entire drumset.
I don't know what you mean by only allowed to assign to the 12 pads and not the whole set...The 12 pads are the whole set.
Each Pad has 3 layers that have MIDI assignments...you can't change the Bass (attached)
Check MULTI-DRUMSET mode and see if that's what you are looking for..
Page 10 / MAP DRUM NOTES (NOTE MAP)Within each Pattern, MIDI notes can either be mapped to 12 different sounds in NORMAL mode, or they can be mapped to any of five drumset groups (User Drumsets 00-09, 10-19,20-29, 30-39, etc ) in
MULTI-DRUMSET mode.
Any of these drumset groups can cover MIDI notes 000 through 119.
This makes the SR18 ideal for use as a drum sound module,triggered by either an electronic drum kit or set of electronic drum pads,or by notes from a sequencer.
