Emax

1. Create a new sequence preset

2. Each track in the sequencer represents a MIDI
channel.  So, Track 1 = Midi channel 1, 2 = 2, etc..
The sequencer takes control of the MIDI channel
assignments regardless of what channel your preset is
assigned to.

3. Set the tracks you want to use to "r" for record
(remember, the tracks are basically the MIDI channels)

4. "record" about 1 second of nothing then stop the
recorder.  Just blank, don't play any keys.

5. Assign presets to the tracks. the kick preset to
track 1, snare to track two, etc....I think it's
sequencer-setup-2

5. Turn on super mode (sequencer-setup-6)

6. Also, good idea to assign a blank preset to the
unused tracks to avoid unwanted sounds being played.
Also, set the sequencer trigger start to OFF to avoid
the floppy disk kick-starting everytime it gets a MIDI
clock signal.

6. MIDI channel 1 on the Protools output will now play
the kick, channel 2 will play the snare. etc..

Another option would be to copy all your percussion to
a single preset, assign them specific key ranges and
trigger all the sounds using a single MIDI channel.

Super Mode works best if you are using full keyboard
range sounds where you would need to play the full
octaves.  Percussion can be combined and assigned to a
single preset and any key on the keyboard.  Easier.
