Can JS allow me to simulate drum pad banks on an Axiom?

[ernesto]

I have never used JS and was hoping someone could tell me if this is possible.

The Axiom only has 8 drum pads and no banks (without switching programs which requires multiple button presses and is slow). Here is my idea: Make a JS plug that will change the note transmitted based on what virtual bank you have selected. The banks would be assigned by buttons on the Axiom that transmit cc, or you could use the upper register of the keyboard that is right below the pads.

I'm not sure how JS works, but here is one way I imagine it happening:

A part that would change the virtual bank

If cc22=127 (bank A button pressed) then ValBank=1
If cc23=127 (bank B button pressed) then ValBank=2
If cc24=127 (bank C button pressed) then ValBank=3
...etc

Then a part that would transpose the notes based on the bank

if noteon 1=true (lower left pad pressed) then
if ValBank=1 then send noteon 1
if ValBank=2 then send noteon 9
if ValBank=3 then send noteon 17
if ValBank=4 then send noteon 25

So basically the JS plugin would just transpose the note sent based on what virtual bank you have selected. Could this work?

i'd say that is all very possible using a JS midi fx. it's basically just a note transpose fx, where the transpose value is controlled by other midi notes notes (which are filtered out of the output).

if you wanted to hack on it yourself, the midi_transpose plugin would be a good place to start. otherwise maybe ask nicely and someone will look into it?
