The stuff starting from notes mapping is quite confusing. Reaper 6.26 shows C3 for 48 note (which we chose for Kick) but sequencer maps this note to C2. Later when we are switching patterns with midi-keys, it's also 1 octave higher than selected in sequencer. Otherwise really nice tutorial.

This video is GOLD!!! I wanted to turn WAV files into midi. I can make a bunch of WAV files from my drum machine, or use some samples from a disc I bought on Ebay years ago with 29,000 drum samples. This is going to be different than anything I've ever done. I always program my drum machine with the exact speed I want & make a wav, then transport it to reaper. Now I can use wav samples & turn them into midi in reaper.

Great tutorial, thanks Kenny. I watched both this and your other "first drum beat" video. I must admit I don't quite see why one would use the sequencer, given it's possible to do everything just by creating MIDI notes in a MIDI item - either playing them on a HW keyboard, or just painting them in. And it seems like the UI for the MIDI item is a bit nicer to work in than the sequencer one; and you have to use a MIDI item to trigger the sequencer anyway. But of course it's always good to know about all the options available, and probably more advanced sequencers than Megababy have other advantages vs just using MIDI items.

I'm leaving a solution i couldn't find in the other comments. Using the sequencer, even after you set up the last trigger it will keep playing the sequence indefinitely. A solution i found to stop the sequence is to set up an empty pattern. Say pattern 15 which can be triggered by D#5 i believe. Leave that pattern empty and then trigger it via that midi trigger like D#5. if you only have 2 drum patterns like pattern 0 & 1, then you can leave pattern 2 empty and trigger it with D4. If you don't want drums until a certain point in the song, make sure your first measure of the song has that empty pattern trigger and then change the trigger to a filled in pattern where you want the sequencer to start.

I had a problem with the samples "echoing". I would add the first sample and things would work fine then copy-paste add the 2nd, 3rd etc and all of the copied samples would have a very strange sound, not the sample sound. I found that my up to date version of reaper changes the "mode" setting from "Sample (ignores MIDI note)" to "Note (simitone shifted) by default. if you have weird other worldly sounds coming out of your sample like you are summoning demons from the deep make sure mode is to Sample (ignores MIDI note).

I did mine in reaper V6 and was able to match 8 bars pretty well. My kick was mapped originally to C3 in the sampler as others have suggested here. The way I resolved it was to just ignore it in the sequencer and put the kick at C2 like in the video. It's an interesting way to make drum beat- I have a million drum samples, just not a million years to do it in.

Note starts are about 12 below what yours are: for example C 3 = 48. So when I select a note in the midi sequencer it corresponds to a different sound, for example C3 = shot 1 instead of snare.

I don't know what the hell I'm doing wrong. I've done this tutorial more than once before and for some reason this time it's just not working for me I've even gone through and completely restarted the tutorial. I'm 4 days deep into this track I'm working on so I'm not starting the track over. For some reason the track with the sequence drums on it will play pattern 0 no matter what even if there's no midi event on that track. If the effect is on it will play pattern 0 no matter what. Unless I open the effects window and manually switch it to beat one and in that case it'll just play that forever and ever and there's not even anything on the track. I had to use mute envelopes to get it to be quiet until I wanted it too but then when I wanted to switch patterns it just doesn't do it it just stays on pattern 0 forever. The only way I could get it to switch to a different pattern would be to create an all-new track copy and paste my sequence to beat and then use a mute envelope to mute the first sequence and unmute the second sequence at the right time which is a totally unacceptable work around. Does anyone know what the hell is going wrong

Set the second track to a different MIDI channel, and see if you can set your keyboard controller's global midi channel on the fly (like with Arturia controllers). That's a workaround that worked for me. Also make sure both tracks aren't armed at the same time (unless you have two different midi keyboard controllers on two different midi channels, and/or setting the Midi Inputs individually on the track, instead of "all Midi inputs"). That is something I mess up all the time. Keep us posted!
