How do build a custom drumkit?

[jonathan hanemann]

Hi, what can I use to build a custom drumkit in Cakewalk with my own samples? Such as  plugin or instrument that'll correspond to the pads on my Akai MPD, and I just drag my samples onto the corresponding pads in the plugin? Similar to the basic drumkit in Ableton.

Thanks!

Hey sorry to be a pain, but how do I get an AKAI MPD218 to work with this? Installed SITALA just fine. Tks The MPD218 works fine with every other virtual instrument.

I don't own the hardware but if the DAW is receiving MIDI from it and it works with other plug-ins you are most of the way there.

MIDI notes may be mapped manually or using MIDI learn in the plug-in.

Sitala looks to be setup for GM by default.

If you are not hearing anything after inserting the synth and the AKAI is GM mapped and set as the track input, make sure input echo is enabled on the instrument or MIDI track (of the MIDI+audio pair used by Sitala).

I got it actually. All good. Tks for your input man. It's appreciated.
