FILLNTR
Note Trigger Rack Fill Action
If you are using Note Trigger Racks, it can be a challenge to edit the pads.
I wrote a user action which reads / writes the content into a text file in a dedicated folder in USER/nativeKONTROL/ClyphX Pro
Settings Folder.

Usage
Reading
1 / USER_DEV(SEL) fillntr
looks for a text file in the folder. If it does not find a fitting file, it will create one.
You can edit the text file to your needs:
It will read all lines and replace any text in the drum pads.
Saving
1 / USER_DEV(SEL) fillntr SAVE
saves the actual content of the Drum Pads into the text file. It will create a .txt file with the name of the Rack.
It will OVERWRITE an exsisting file, so make sure you have a unique name.
Excel Sheet
I made an excel sheet which you can use to generate any entries. To get it into the .txt file, you simple select the first row and you can use Copy&Paste to insert it into the text file.
Download Excel Sheet
Export to excel
If you want to export the current pads to copy & paste INTO the excel file use:
1 / USER_DEV(1) fillntr EXCEL
that will generate a .txt file without the leading zeros.
Recommended Workflow
- rename your rack to a unique name:
Don’t rename the DrumRack with the pads! The name must be “Triggers”. You can (and should) rename the Instrument Rack itself! (Top Level)
- create a txt file with
fillntr
or useSAVE
if you have a NTR which you’re already using - edit the .txt file to your needs, use the excel sheet to create your entries
- trigger the reading of the text file with
fillntr
