![]() ![]() Note-by-note pitch transposers or Transform features can usually handle the necessary note re-assignments-for example, Logic includes not only a realtime MIDI Transformer/mapper, but also a MIDI plug-in that can be adapted from its designated Chord Trigger application to be used as an individual note-by-note drum re-mapper. Multiple Samples And Expressionīut sometimes drum note re-mapping is not always as straightforward as simply re-assigning one note for each drum or cymbal. Both high-end drum plug-ins and the drum brains in many e-drum kits often utilize more complex triggering assignments than one-note-per-drum. For example, it’s common for e-drum kits to trigger different snare sounds for the same drum-a standard center hit for strokes in the center of the drum head a hard rimshot sample for rim hits and even a ballad-style sidestick sound when the rim is struck softly. In some less sophisticated (read: cheaper) e-drum kits the snare and rim samples may both be triggered from center hits at different MIDI Velocities. And not only might there be different samples triggered at different MIDI Velocities, but sometimes in response to where the drum is hit as well-for example, a thinner sample for strokes near the edge of the drum head-incorporating positional sensitivity.ĭepending on how the drum VI handles this, it may have to be accounted for via MIDI programming in the DAW or the VI. Some e-drum kits use positional sensitivity to trigger different samples This is also frequently employed for e-cymbals, with the position the cymbal is hit triggering regular ride, bell ride, or crash samples. ![]() ![]() If this kind of variation is implemented in both the e-drum kit and the destination drum VI as different notes for each of the different sounds, then it may require a little more effort to re-map those notes to the appropriate samples in the plug-in kit, but it should still be relatively easy to do. ![]() But sometimes the e-drum kit may incorporate MIDI control data to differentiate between multiple samples for the same drum or cymbal. ![]()
