I have my midi inputs set up for gen midi in Cubase and in BFD 3. attached to a Yamaha dtx multi 12. When I play closed hats,BFD 3 plays open hats which is very annoying. All the assignments are fine. I tried this in SD 2 and all is fine. Closed,Pedal and open hats operate as they should. How do I remedy this? ---

Hi DarrernMc and welcome to the BFD forums. Check your dtx multi to see that it is sending the correct assignment with the pedal in the down position. That’s all I got. Kind regards, Living Room Rocker ---

I wrote all the midi note assignments before I started. ---

I have written every midi note for the pads on the Yamaha dtx multi 12. Then I look at keys are assigned for each tom in BFD 3. So then I change them in Cubases midi mapper to match. But when I play the floor tom pad,there is no sound. There is something seriously wrong with the midi mapping in BFD 3. I can load in SD2 and Mojo Drums and I don’t get these issues at all. So essentially BFD 3 is broken software. In Cubase I used “create midi map from instrument” after failing with every other option. I tried to find the pedal hats by clicking every note but Nothing. ---

I ran across your post under the BFD3 Topic in the **[Cubase Forum](https://forums.steinberg.net/t/a-bfd3-thread/693723/192)** and deleted my post as there was no need for the troubleshooting I posted here. There are quite a few users in this Forum using Cubase with BFD3, so hopefully some will chime in… **EDIT:** if it’s of any help…personally when using drum modules etc as controllers I get it working well in the Standalone first and that helps eliminate some trouble shooting when moving to Vst/DAW. Connect the DTX MULTI 12…load the DTX-MULTI 12 Key/Map and check…if the mapping seems out of wack check the Octave range…Tools \> Preferences \> MIDI. I setup mainly Alesis Modules and the Octave needs to be set at -2 for the maps to line up properly if you didn’t use the Setup Wizard to select the Host/DAW. There is also an extension for using the DTX-MULTI 12 as a controller in Cubase ,don’t know if you already have it setup that way or may or may not be interested in it. **[DTX-MULTI 12 Extension V1.1.1 for Win](https://usa.yamaha.com/support/updates/dtx-multi_12_extension_win.html)** _"DTX-MULTI 12 Extension is software which lets you operate the Cubase functions from the DTX-MULTI 12 as a remote controller. For example. You can operate the Cubase transport, turn its metronome on or off, and control various other functions from the instrument’s front panel._ _For more details, please refer the installation Guide which will be downloaded with program file."_ ---

I used the setup wizard in BFD 3. Selected Cubase as the daw for BFD 3 and the DTX multi 12 as the midi key map. Then opened Cubase, added BFD 3 as an instrument. Then in Cubase I selected “create midimap from instrument” Recorded some drums. The midi map keys in Cubase are totally different to what’s listed for the kit pieces in BFD 3. I don’t get it. I created a midi map from BFD 3 but it assigns different notes in Cubase??? I am done. Saving for SD3. There is nothing more I can do to figure this mind fuck out.
