Drum Maps
A Drum Map assigns certain qualities to the different drum instruments of a MIDI Drum Kit.
Besides key assignment for pitch, the export note, the MIDI channel and the quantization
are defined.
The "General MIDI" map is used by default to distribute drum kits.
You can set the Drum Map in the Drum Editor by selecting the "map" field in the desired
Drum Map. You can also open the Drum Map under in the Track Editor under "MIDI".
It may be the case that your synthesizer, VSTi or the drum computer do not refer to the
GM map, but to a different mapping setup. If this is the case, you will hear a different sound
than you expect when playing the drum events (for example, a tom drum instead of a bass
drum). It is recommended to create a correct Drum Map for the current playback device.
For this, select the command "Create new Drum Map) and assign the individual
instruments to the corresponding pitch or key assignments of your MIDI keyboard. The
quantization options and MIDI channel options can be defined individually. The newly
created Drum Map must be saved, and will then appear in the selection menu.
Note: A Drum Map is already available for the MAGIX Synth ROBOTA PRO. If you embed
ROBOTA into your setup, please select "ROBOTA PRO" as your Drum Map.
Drum Map Editor
This editor lets you route each played note to a different one and give them their own
individual names. It's also possible to assign each individual instrument its own quantization
and a new (MIDI) output channel.
