migrating from nepheton 0.9.1 to newer versions

Post by engineer_garin » Thu Jun 21, 2007 5:30 pm

hi,

it was announced somewhere that with the release of 0.9.2 midi drum map was changed to become compatible with GM, but I have lots of beats in Ableton as midi clips that I made with 0.9.1. Is there an easy way to migrate all my clips to the new midi drum map?

thanks

If you need to convert the clips to the new DrumMap it can be heard to say how to make it automatically but you can keep them working with the newest versions by redefining your DrumMap.

If you want to do that please find the file Nepheton.ini:

- on PC it is located in the same location where Nepheton.dll exists
- on Mac it is located in /Library/Application Support/D16 Group/Nepheton

Open .ini file in any text editor and find the fragment of the xml like

Code: Select all

  <DrumMap>
   ...
  </DrumMap>
Then exchange this fragment with:

Code: Select all

  <DrumMap>
    <assign note="24" instrument="BD"/>
    <assign note="25" instrument="SD"/>
    <assign note="26" instrument="LC"/>
    <assign note="27" instrument="MC"/>
    <assign note="28" instrument="HC"/>
    <assign note="29" instrument="LT"/>
    <assign note="30" instrument="MT"/>
    <assign note="31" instrument="HT"/>
    <assign note="32" instrument="CL"/>
    <assign note="33" instrument="RS"/>
    <assign note="34" instrument="MA"/>
    <assign note="35" instrument="CP"/>
    <assign note="36" instrument="CB"/>
    <assign note="37" instrument="LG"/>
    <assign note="38" instrument="CY"/>
    <assign note="39" instrument="OH"/>
    <assign note="40" instrument="CH"/>
  </DrumMap>
... after changes save the file and when you load the Nepheton next time you will get the same Drum Map as it was till 0.9.2 version

Cheers,
Przemek
