That's it! When you double-click on the MIDI events of that track, they should now display drum names instead of the piano roll. In the last step, you have to click the drum map button again and actually select the new drum map file. You can now close the Drum Map Setup window. Select and open the previously extracted drum map file. At the top left, click on Functions -> Load. Now you should be able to see the drum map button on the track. Then select Drum Map from the left side and add it to the list of visible controls on the right. In the Track Controls Settings window, select the MIDI tab. The button for that can be found at the bottom of the tracks column. If you can't see the drum map button marked red in the screenshot above, go into the Track Controls Settings. If it is, you can skip Steps 3 and 4 and jump directly to Step 5. Open Cubase and create a MIDI or an instrument track. You can find drum maps and instructions for these DAWs within the help section of this website as well.

Other DAWs like Reaper and Studio One have their own drum map file format. That's it! When you double-click on the MIDI events of that track, they should now display drum names instead of the piano roll.Please note that this drum map file only works with Cubase. If you haven't moved the unnecessary drum map files out of the folder earlier, as suggested, you have to scroll down a lot now to reach the MT-PowerDrumKit_DrumMap file. In this menu there will appear all the files from the previously visited Drum Maps folder. Now go to the Grooves section of the MT Power Drum Kit and drag any groove, fill or groove-fill combination to the MIDI track, which is the lower one of the two created tracks.Īfter that click on the Output button (yellow mark/arrow) of the MIDI track and select New Drum Map from the drop down menu. As instrument select the MT Power Drum Kit plugin (blue rectangle mark) and then make sure to expand the Advanced section and enable the Split Instrument Track function (yellow arrow).Īfter the tracks have been created, expand them by clicking the double arrows pointing downwards (blue circles).

You can achieve that by clicking on the PLUS button at the top of the track list (blue circle) and then selecting the Instrument tab. In order to use the drum map in Sonar or Cakewalk the MIDI track and audio track of the virtual instrument have to be displayed seperately in the track list.

#DRUM MAP FOR MT POWER DRUMKIT 2 SOFTWARE#
Anyway what I noticed is the notes in the software do not match up with reaper's virtual midi keyboard. Other DAWs like Cubase, Reaper and Studio One have their own drum map file format. I just downloaded the MT Power drumkit 2 and followed the instructions for proper mapping on their website which said to load up the mapping. Please also note that this drum map file only works with Cakewalk and Sonar. You can move them to a different location on your drive, leaving only the ones you need, like the drum map for the MT Power Drum Kit (thank me later). Side note: In this folder you will encounter many other drum map files which you probably don't need.
