16 Track Drums & New Drum Map...

[jim]

So I'm working on bumping the DrumSeq up to 16 tracks, which also means adding more default note mappings. I'm taking the opportunity to revise the default drum mapping -- and to make a prototype of the SampleKit pre-mapped to 16 drum parts.

Here's what I've got so far:

1: Bass Drum
2: Snare Drum
3: Open Hat
4: Closed Hat

5: Low Tom
6: Mid Tom
7: High Tom
8: Hand Clap

9: Ride Cymbal
10: Crash1
11: Crash2
12: Rimshot / Sidestick

13: Log Conga
14: High Conga
15: Low Timbale
16: High Timbale

-- Note that I've grouped things into 4, to match the Launchpad/Push mapping pages. That's also why I moved the OH/CL pair to the first page, they match well w/ BD/SD, and allow all 3 Toms can be on the same page.

-- Tracks 13-16 are really just placeholders, most kits will use other sounds.

-- Of course, you can always make your own custom maps, save the module presets, and use those as your 'prototype' modules...

... But, I am (as always) interested in hearing your comments -- perhaps there are better options for the last 4 sounds, etc.

For reference, here's a couple links showing the GeneralMIDI drum mapping:

http://cs.uccs.edu/~cs525/midi/midi.html (scroll down about halfway -- this one shows the notes relative to a keyboard).

Cheers,
