Ruismaker with akai MPK pads

Hi,
I’ve been trying to map the pads on my akai MPK mini to ruismaker in AUM without any success.

Has anyone had success mapping midi cc to to ruismaker or is this not possible?

Best regards,
Asturoidu

    Hi,
    Ruismaker responds to MIDI notes, not CCs. And the Ruismaker sound pads are not published as MIDI parameters, so AUM cannot help with mapping them. You may need a StreamByter script to convert the messages from your controller to the expected notes.

    However, you should be able to map any of the control parameters with no problem.

    You might be able to use Mozaic as a pass-thru, and remap the MIDI notes sent from the controller to the notes expected by Ruismaker.

    Maybe check this:

    (You would also have to buy Mozaic if you don't already own it).

    mfxConvert.

    Just route your MPK to it. Route mfxConvert to Ruismaker. Now, engage learn in the From side of mfxConvert and hit the first pad on the MPK. Now, on the To side set the note you need (Db2). Keep learn engaged and hit the second pad. Map this to Eb2. Repeat for the rest of the pads, mapping to notes F#2, Ab2, Bb2, Db3, Eb3, and F#3 in turn. Disengage Learn. Test each pad. If you need to change a mapping, you can select a new note from the dropdown box. When all is good, save this as a preset in mfxConvert.

    No coding and it'll only set you back a couple of bucks.

    You can accomplish the same with a Streambyter or Mozaic script, but mfxConvert is easier to adapt to other drum machines and other uses.

    Just turn off CC mode on the MPK mini so it sends note data from the pads and set up the note mapping in ruismaker.

    Or You could just set up the MPK mini to send the default Ruismaker note assignments from the pads as a preset using the preset editing software if you have access to a pc or a Mac and you’re good to go.

    Yeh, true. I can switch the mpk pads between notes and cc, and had a look at streambyter but seems a bit too complicated for me. Thanks for the suggestion.

    I wish that one worked but for some reason it doesn't. I think the problem is with the channel assignment.
    It seems to want to assign a channel per ruismaker instrument and I can't remap that it seems

    Thanks, I ended up using the preset config tool for the mpk to map a program to ruismaker like you suggested. That worked. :)
