How do I operate the x42 Onset Trigger in detail?

Hi Friends,
it seems, that I’m too stupid for the x42 Onset Trigger. :frowning:
I have a track with a self recorded bassdrum and want to to trigger with this audiotrack a bassdrum in a midi-track from a synth-drumkit accordingly.
As far as I learned, reading stuff in the net, I have to put to plug-in into the midi-track. Is that correct?
After this, I set in the pins, the bassdrum-track as a source.
But … nothing happens.
I followed Robins hints in regards of the freq in the other thread of Luis here on the side.
Still … nothing happens.
I also didn’t found a detailed manual for the onset trigger.
So, please please please, could someone explain step-by-step, what I have to set in what way in what place?
Thanks in advance, and also sorry in advance, if that question is too trivial :wink:

No you’re not. It’s indeed somewhat tricky.

That plugin was a quick/dirty hack to solve a specific problem for me, and should not have been released as-is to the wider community.

In short: you load the plugin on the Audio track where you have recorded the that has the kick-drum, and after that you load a MIDI synth to play the kick.

You’ll have to disable “Strict-I/O” so that an audio track can load a MIDI synth (right-click context menu on the mixer-strip header).

On the plugin itself… you’ll likely have to change the Kick note to “36” (C2) and adjust the signal-level and filter freq so that the plugin triggers on your recorded kick.

Wow! That’s so easy if you know what to do! Thanks Robin for helping me out and for that beautiful tool! It’s amazing!

If someone else is interested: My misunderstanding/error was, that I thought that the trigger will interact between two tracks, the audio-track and the midi-track but I learned that I have to operate this in one track (audio).

I’m glad I’m part of this group, scene, world :slight_smile:
