![]() ![]() Once you have your samples loaded into the instrument rack, click on the ‘Chain’ button to expose the Chain Selector. ![]() I’ve used some random snare samples here for the sake of demonstration, but feel free to use whatever you’d like if you’re following along. Find a few sounds that you would like to play on one quadrant. Now let’s drag some samples into this instrument rack. I like to use descriptive naming to stay organized, so I’ve named that cell ‘Quadrant A’. I’ve chosen 42, which corresponds to quadrant A. The next thing to do is to drop an instrument rack onto one of the cells correspond to one of the notes sent by the sticks preset (36, 38, 42, or 47). First create an empty MIDI track (cmd/ctrl + t) and place a Drum Rack device on the newly created track. Both can be accomplished by building a custom Drum Rack. There are a couple of different approaches to this and I will walk through the two that were most obvious to me (there may be more!). This will be important once we start doing our MIDI mapping in Live. The reason that this preset is a good choice is that the radius CC is sent on a different channel for each quadrant. You should also send this to slot 1 on your BopPad so when not connected to the Editor, this will be the default preset on the device. The Sticks factory preset is set up to do this by default, so simply open up the Editor and select the ‘Sticks’ preset. The first thing to do is configure our BopPad to send the appropriate MIDI messages. A basic understanding of MIDI, Live, and the BopPad Editor will also be useful, though not necessary. ![]() To follow along with this quick tutorial, you’ll need a copy of Ableton Live (any variety should do) and a BopPad. With some creative MIDI mapping in Live, we can quickly set up “zones” on our BopPad in Ableton Live. This is usually done with notes, and while the BopPad cannot send out different notes from one quadrant based on location, it can send a CC based on the distance you are from the center of the pad. One thing that users have been wondering about is how to play different sounds based on the location in a particular quadrant. The BopPad is a highly flexible MIDI device that can spit out a variety of data to control MIDI capable software and hardware.
