HI,
I am considering purchasing some 3rd party MIDI drum files. They are only available mapped for the Toontrack engines, but I would use them with my XLN Addictive Drums 2 license.

I don't have the Toontrack products.

I plan to use a MIDI Mapper to fly the MIDI from it original mapping to the XLN mapping.

I am having difficulty finding an official Toontrack drum map chart.

I found a few user-made charts and am beginning to think there is no global map for Toontrack drums and that they have different maps for different kits.

It seems like a MIDI clip made for one kit's sound files could sound weird on another kit.

How does that work with Toontrack? Does the VST have its own internal remapping system?

Or is there a global Toontrack map that I can refer to while creating a remap recipe for use with AD2?

Thanks for any info you can share.

OK, well, don't I feel stupid; is the solution I am looking for as easy as opening my Addictive Drums MIDI mapping and switching from AD2 Standard to Toontrack EZD3?

Duh.... :-S

Well there you go, I love it when problems solve themselves.
Happy remapping.

Hi,
The built-in feature allows me to hear the intended drum part, but I am realizing it does nothing to help me see the correct note names in my MIDI Editor with the different drum kit labels displayed as note names.

I could use one of the user-made Toontrack charts I have found, but they all seem to differ in the kit they describe.

I would still like to find an official Toontrack drum map. I downloaded the Superior Drummer 3 manual and did not see a chart in it.

I am wondering where I might find one.

Thank you.

Question for EZ Drummer or Superior Drummer users.
