Hi !

Just made my first Kontakt 5 instrument with the Heavy Mental one shot samples. I did my best, I'm not sure it was the best way to map each element but any suggestion is welcome !

Here's the idea :

Middle : C#1

Left side of C#1, from C1 to G-1: Kicks, from Kick 1 to Kick 4 left foot and right foot for each

Right side of C#1, D#1 to G5 : Snares, from Snare 1 to Snare 11 left hand and right hand for each

C#6 to D7 : Hi-Hats, closed, open, etc…

F7 to G#7 : Toms

Hope it will be useful ! It should work on Mac and Win, but doesn't seem to work on Kontakt 4

@Jessycd:

The better way of mapping drums and percussion on a MIDI keyboard is by using the most widely used standard: GM/GS. Kick on note 36, Snare on note 38 and so on. When I was compulsively sampling and mapping drums & percs, long time ago, this is exactly how I did it. That way, when I switched from a drumset to another (from completely different origins and styles... from analog drumboxes to live drummers) using THE SAME DRUM SEQUENCE, everything made sense yet: a kick was still a kick, a rim shot was still a rim shot...

Google "GM GS drum layout" and you'll see...

Congrats for your work. Best wishes!.

Yeah, the one single thing stopping me from testing this out is remapping it to work. I would definatly remap to general midi drums.

So yeah open up your daw switch to a midi out or some sort and change the channel to midi 10 and most daws will show the instruments/mapping so you can just copy. Either that or download a Guitar Pro/midi file with drums and getting that mapping that way.

BUt yeah, if you can map it to gm I'd try it out. I'm always looking for alt kits for my more experimental stuff.

@ AudioTiger,

You're quite right. For practical purposes, it makes a great sense to map all the samples in a 'GM/GS Standard DrumMap fashion', but when you have several Kicks, several Snares, several HiHats,... as it seems that's the case with the Jessycd's custom Library, this implies either to map all the available Samples in a 'single' Kontakt Instrument (.nki) as she has done or to create various DrumKits... so, several Kontakt Instruments.

@ Jessycd,

Here you can find an illustration and complementary infos of the 'GM/GS Standard DrumMap' :

Wikipedia - GM/GS Standard DrumMap

Hope it help ! wink

@Studio 555:

Yeah right... True; when you have several kicks, things get complicated. Either one nki with all kicks, one each MIDI note, then you choose by transposing the onte on the sequencer, or many NKI instruments, each of them GS/GM but with different kicks and snares, or DIY, in Jessycd-way :)

Hi guys !

Yes I know that ! I was thinking doing it this way, but there's 4 kicks and 11 snares, there's no "pre built" kits, so who am I to say "this snare goes with this kick etc...", you know what I mean ? lol It's a matter of taste !
And anyway too much snares for a few kicks... And only one Hi-Hat !


This is why I tried to put everything on the same .nki file !

But you can very easily map it as you want, with the elements you want : You load the instrument, click on the "Edit mode" symbol on the left, then "Mapping Editor" and do as you need yes

Yes Studio 555, you got it wink

as she has done

But I'm sorry I'm a boy yes I chose this pseudo when I was a teen, I didn't know "Jesse" was more for boys and "Jessy" for girls rofl
I kept it like this but it's kinda disturbing, I'm sorry lol

Jessycd, you are right!
When trying out the best combination of kicks and snares, your mapping just makes most sense.
Nobody keeps us enthusiastic Kontakt programmers from building our own GM kits with our favourite kick and snare combinations wink

Thank you very much for posting this, I just didn't want to get the blown-up, four-DVD pack.

Keep the good work!

Yeah you know I tried to download DVD1 but it's only loops (And Pro Tools project) but I found it pretty useless ! Maybe some people can find an interest in using it, but I'm not !
Maybe if you want to make some exercises with PT projects, don't know...

And you're welcome ! With all what Audioz gave me it's the minimum I can do ! (Not sure that phrase is right rofl ) So I'm happy to give people something !

Jessycd, Hope you won't mind my requesting but could you please upload all the single shot drum samples for Discrete Drums Heavy Mental V2? I would really appreciate that (^__^). Afterwards, I'll re-map the separate kicks and snares in GM/GS/toontrack format and add key switching so you can opt between the different groups :D!!

Thank you for the help!
Best regards,
ICE
