Drum Map Settings
A drum map consists of settings for 128 drum sounds, one for each MIDI note
number.
• To get an overview of the drum map settings, open the Drum Editor and use
the Map pop-up menu below the drum sound list to select the GM Map drum
map.
The GM map is set up according to the General MIDI standard.
You can change all drum map settings except the pitch directly in the drum sound
list or in the Drum Map Setup dialog. These changes affect all tracks that use the
drum map.

Channel and Output Settings
You can set separate MIDI channels and/or MIDI outputs for each sound in a drum
map. When a drum map is selected for a track, the MIDI channel settings in the
drum map override the MIDI channel setting for the track.
You can select different channels and/or outputs for different sounds. This allows
you to construct drum kits with sounds from several different MIDI devices, etc.
