You can import your drum map settings to an instrument track that is routed to Groove Agent SE. If you do this and then use the Create Drum Map from Instrument function, the drum sounds are automatically mapped to the corresponding instrument types. This allows you to see the drum notation.

Prerequisite

To import your drum map settings into an instrument track, the track has to be routed to Groove Agent SE or to another drum instrument that supports drum maps.

Procedure

  1. Load a drum kit in Groove Agent SE.
  2. In the Inspector for the track, open the Routing section.
  3. In the Drum Maps pop-up menu, select Create Drum Map from Instrument.

    The drum map is created for the kit that is assigned to the MIDI port and the selected channel in the Inspector.

  4. Open the Drum Maps pop-up menu again, and select Drum Map Setup.
  5. From the list on the left, select the kit that you have loaded in the instrument.

Result

The sounds and settings of the instrument are displayed in the Drum Map Setup.

Note

Instrument and pattern pads are both exported to the drum map. If they share keys, the pattern pads are prioritized; that is, their settings are included in the drum map.
