Drambo + Navichord Setup Question

edited December 2025 in Drambo

Hi,

I don’t expect many people to dive into this issue, but I’ll give it a try. 


I’m trying to control Drambo with Navichord on two separate MIDI channels:

Goal:

1. Record rhytmic chord progression on Drambo Track 1 using Navichord chordpads

2. Record the bassline on Drambo Track 2 using the Navichord keys. I also using the Navichord chord pads to manually get scale layout changes on Navichord keys. I dont want to record chord pads on bassline track, only for the scale layout changes on Navichord keys. This way i get a chord following keys in navichord an i would get it in Drambo bassline track.

Navichord setup:

  • Virtual Out enabled
  • Chord pads → MIDI Out CH1
  • Keyboard → MIDI Out CH2

Drambo setup:

  • Track 1: MIDI Input module → Navichord Virtual Out CH1
  • Track 2: MIDI Input module → Navichord Virtual Out CH2
  • Global MIDI Input for Navichord enabled

What works:

Navichord chord pads play Track 1

Navichord keys play Track 2

Both work correctly during normal playing. But recording both midi channel signal for the selected Drambo channel while recording, what i want to avoid.

So When I record the bassline on Track 2, Drambo also records the CH1 chord-pad notes, even though I only want Track 2 to record CH2 (the keys). (I make this in navi chord for chord following basslines, but dont want to record the chord pad hits onto Track 2)

If I disable Global MIDI Input for Navichord, Drambo records nothing, even though the per-track MIDI Input modules are set correctly and plays correctly, but won't be recorded.

I need a way for Drambo to record only CH2 on Track 2, without also recording the chord-pad MIDI from CH1.
