Is it possible to assign the sustain pedal to a kick drum?

The previous solution worked but there is a slight delay with the scripting. So, I have used the transformation object to map the sustain pedal (64/127) down to a kick note on (as per YoyoBen's original suggestion), and the script to map the sustain pedal up to a kick note off (which the transformation object couldn't seem to do)

Then created a second transformation object to do the same for the footswitch (82/127) to operate the HH (close note on F#1) and adapted the script to map the footswitch up to HH close (note 41). All works brilliantly now :-)

@YoyoBen - wow thanks for the help.

I tried to make the MIDI Modifier work, but I couldn't seem to make it trigger a note, only a different controller.

So, I went onto the Transformer object & tried the settings you suggested. Almost perfect except I was getting a kick for both pedal up and down, so as you mentioned, a quick tweak to set the condition for data byte 2 to 127 and it all works!

Thank-you so much 😁

Unfortunately that doesn't work. Even if I set the velocity to 0, it shows in the control bar that velocity 1 is sent, so I hear a very quiet kick. I then thought I could reassign it to an unused note, but it doesn't help because the Note-Ons all pile up without any Note-Offs, so it soon floods the system so no more notes play.

I'm stumped!

Worked out a nice easy solution! I didn't realise you could write MIDI scripts in Logic Pro. A quick look at the manual & the API's & I cam up with this, which does the job :-)

// Remap sustain pedal down & up to kick note C1 on & off

function HandleMIDI(event) {

if (event instanceof ControlChange

&& event.number == 64 ) {

if (event.value == 127) {

var on = new NoteOn;

on.pitch = 36;

on.velocity = 110;

on.send();

} else if (event.value == 0) {

var off = new NoteOff;

off.pitch = 36;

off.velocity = 64;

off.send();

}

} else {

event.send();

}

}

Edit: It works for a few notes then stops working until I play . I guess this is because it's not sending note off events.

I'll have a play with it tomorrow.
