Mapping instruments in Logic? Change midi notes? Please help.

Hello everyone.

I am new to Logic. I have Logic Studio Express 8. I also have an electronic drum kit (Yamaha DTXplorer) When I hook the drum kit to my midi device All of the correct drums play except the kick drum and the snare. The kick drum registers at A0 and the snare registers at G0. There is no way on the DTXplorer to remap the midi notes. Is there a way to do this in Logic Studio Express 8? If so, can someone please give me some instructions on how to remap these notes within logic? This would be especially helpful if I ever wanted to change a drum sound.

Thanks,
-Tyler

Thank you very much. It worked flawlessly. I greatly appreciate it. I do have on quick question though. You said,

Cable the Echo output of the Physical Input object to this new mapped instrument, and then cable the output of the mapped instrument to the Sequencer Thru.

Im having trouble understanding where the sequencer thru is. Is this the keyboard or is it the squencer or is there a spot im just overlooking. 🙂

Thanks, again.

From the above post:

"Open the environment window, and go to the CLick & Ports layer.

You should see two environment objects - the Physical Input object (where all your MIDI comes into Logic) and the Sequencer Thru object (the sequencer part of Logic)."

Both of these objects are special objects in Logic. The sequencer thru object just internally passes all MIDI events coming into it into the sequncer part of Logic (ie, the arrange page). I think it's been relabelled "Sequencer Input" in LP8, if the terminology was confusing.

🙂 Yeah it is labeled "sequencer". I just wanted to make sure that I wasnt missing something. Thanks again.
