A MIDI remapping tool for CloneHero game.
The newer Clone Hero MIDI mapping feature works pretty well, but I still missed some features that could improve my drumming experience, especially because I'm not using a mainstream E-drum from brands like Yamaha or Roland.
- Assign multiple MIDI notes to a single in-game action/button¹.
- Assign more than one MIDI device in a single profile².
- Get statistics from Velocity and Overhit thresholds, such as:
- Number of notes ignored by each threshold
- Mean velocity values for each trigger
- Other diagnostic metrics useful for calibration³
I created a simple remapping tool that provides these features. Currently, the tool performs MIDI→Keyboard remapping. As Windows is getting some recent MIDI API significant updates, maybe I'll wait a bit and then implement it as a MIDI→MIDI remapper, so dynamics stuff will be back.
- Combine multiple MIDI notes into a single action
- Use multiple MIDI devices in one profile (Ex: Kit expansion using Arduino)
- Diagnose and filter the noisy triggers
Download the executable here.
- Tested on Windows 11 x64 25H2
- Compiled with GCC 13 (MinGW-w64)
¹ I was getting a lot of missed notes on the Snare because the Snare Ring would sometimes trigger instead. Also, I wanted to make some experiments with the Hi-hat pedal that needed multiple remappings, like PedalPressed, OpenHiHat and ClosedHiHat notes.
² I'm building more components for my E-drum, like double bass pedal
³ I noticed that each Cymbal had different average velocities, and one of them produced lots of Overhit notes from vibration. Without metrics, I had to rely on guesswork and trial-and-error, so having statistics makes calibration much easier.
