Drumpad view?

[selectamendo]

I am looking to have a pad-like sampler directly accessible at the main lmms window.

I would like to have something likw the drummachine Bitwig as shown here:

With such a configuration, one could have direct feedback on the actions on the controller's drum pads.

Is such configuration possible with, e.g. Fabla?

How to activate Fabla is discussed in this post:
Mpc-like plugin or set keys to channels in midi keyboard.

The actual screen-view is not a part of lmms, but Is this really about getting a selection of sounds connected to each individual key on your usb-keyboard - eg a distributed sampler?
Maybe this

could be used?

Hi,
Yes, with Fabla lv2, or Drumkv1 lv2, you can assign different samples to different midi notes (and activate with a pad-controller). Unfortunately, you can't yet blend samples with synth sounds (like the Bitwig example shows).
You have to get the Carla-lmms instruments plugins to work, and do all the sample loading through the Carla-patchbay,

Sorry to come back to this topic after a such long time.

I noticed that the drumpad / mpc like interface is not the target of Lmms.

What I miss, e.g. when comparing the program with Qtractor, is the automatic assignment of MIDI notes.

When trying Qtractor with a MIDI controller connected, the DAW automatically uses the MIDI signals for the current track. this means that is is very easy to switch between instruments:

normal keyboard arrow up/down changes the track/instrument --> the new instrument is instantly playable with the midi controller.

From what I understand, in LMMS I would have a individually assign a channel and note for each track/instrument.

Is this understanding correct or am I missing something?
are there any hints on how to control the Beats+Bassline Editor or the piano roll effectively with a midi controller without spending too much time configuring midi assignments?

Thanks in advance for help!

I do not own a midi-kb, so i have never worked with midi-connection. The only thing i can do is to point to the wiki, where it is explained how to connect the kb, and special items on the kb, like the mod-wheel. Chapters 4-7 :
