gm drum map for acoustic drums

[cakewalkr7]

Has anyone put together a drum map for sampletank's acoustic drums that map to general midi? Thanks.

Here are some for Cubase. I forget if there are Cakewalk maps in there too. Raven made them.

I made a couple of drum maps in Sonar for the "I-Map Donlite" kit. They should also work for other I-Map kits although there might be some extra hits that need to be mapped.

"I-Map Kit.map" just has the names and midi assignments as used by the I-Map standard ie. it's a pass-thru map with the names for each hit filled in.

"I-Map GM Kit.map" is an attempt to map GM drum hits to I-Map hits. In most cases I used the "dynamic" I-Map hits as the basic hit eg. GM bass drum is mapped to I-Map dynamic kick. I've mapped as much of the GM kit as I can. Playing GM midi files through this map seems to give pretty good results, although there don't appear to be the equivalent of floor toms in the Donlite kit I have. Non-GM hits like snare rolls are left out.

Hope this is useful!

Thanks Philip, I'll see what I can make of that.

Also, the new version of Acoustic Drums (Expansion Tank version) comes with "Lite" kits that are GM just one octave up. Transpose it one octave down and you're there.
