Title: PadMaker Question
Post by: NASAMike on September 11, 2020, 05:02:42 PM

I was attempting to make a multi-pad using a style but not all the channels from that style are available when using the PadMaker program.   The style definitely has the content in the channel when I play it on the keyboard.

Anyone have an idea why some channels may not show up and how to fix it?

Thx,
NASAMike

Styles are very complex compared to Multipad.

The channels missing could relate to a single Instrument having two or more tracks controlled by the ( CASM and Chords played )

Use Mix Master ( free software)
To see each track of the Style.

Hope this is enough for you to understand.
Regards Norman.

Hi NASAMike,

are you talking about "PadMaker - Midi" or "PadMaker - Style"?


Best regards,
Chris

I think Norman has the correct answer. If the style Part uses 2 channels, I would delete the one in chs 1-8 (alternate) and keep the one in chs 9-16. But on the other hand you want to keep the C Major (not Minor) channel.   In that case you might need to use StyleMagic to know which one to keep and which one to discard.  Some times the C Major loop is in the lower channels 1-8. Which means you would have to delete the Minor one and move the Major one to the appropriate channel.
