User defined MIDI Maps?

Post by timothyallan » Tue Apr 28, 2009 5:57 am

The front webpage says "user defined midi map (default set equal to General Midi)"

Is this only applicable to the CC controls? I hate the GM map, and would like to just map the note triggers chromatically from C1- whatever.

Is this possible? I've sifted through the manual and can't find it.

Thanks,
Tim

Hi,

Depending on OS You use (Windows or MacOS) You need to find Nepheton.ini first and re-edit it.

If You use Windows this file is kept in the same directory where Nepheton.dll is located.

If You use MacOS, Nepheton.ini is kept in "/Library/Application Support/D16 Group/Nepheton/" directory.

Open Nepheton.ini with any text editor and look for similar piece of text:

Code: Select all

<DrumMap>
    <assign note="35" instrument="BD"/>
    <assign note="36" instrument="BD"/>
    <assign note="38" instrument="SD"/>
    <assign note="40" instrument="SD"/>
    <assign note="61" instrument="LC"/>
    <assign note="64" instrument="LC"/>
    <assign note="63" instrument="MC"/>
    <assign note="60" instrument="HC"/>
    <assign note="62" instrument="HC"/>
    <assign note="41" instrument="LT"/>
    <assign note="45" instrument="LT"/>
    <assign note="47" instrument="MT"/>
    <assign note="48" instrument="MT"/>
    <assign note="43" instrument="HT"/>
    <assign note="50" instrument="HT"/>
    <assign note="75" instrument="CL"/>
    <assign note="37" instrument="RS"/>
    <assign note="70" instrument="MA"/>
    <assign note="39" instrument="CP"/>
    <assign note="56" instrument="CB"/>
    <assign note="58" instrument="LG"/>
    <assign note="49" instrument="CY"/>
    <assign note="51" instrument="CY"/>
    <assign note="52" instrument="CY"/>
    <assign note="59" instrument="CY"/>
    <assign note="46" instrument="OH"/>
    <assign note="42" instrument="CH"/>
    <assign note="44" instrument="CH"/>
  </DrumMap>
Each of <assign> tags is an assignement of instrument (instrument="" attribute) to a particular midi note (note="" attribute). By editing note="" attribute You can change the midi note the instruments are assigned to (by changing the midi note number in quotation marks). You can also make few entries for OH (or any other) instrument for example, making it triggable by few different notes.

To apply changes made in Nepheton.ini file, You have to restart Nepheton plug-in (remove it and re-insert in host application).

Best regards,
Sebastian
