Hi all..

still  trying to create drum maps for Kontakt...

my latest snag is finding out which note mumbers correlate to the note names.

i can see the note names but cant get a display of note numbers..

any ideas?

I would look into the different pdf manuals supplied by NI. You will find them in your Shared Documents folder. At the end of each drum manual you will find all kit pieces  and their articulations laid out with their respective default key and MIDI note number. They seem to be ordered not by key but by kit piece. Also, the default key in CbB will depend upon you setting of Base Octave for Pitches in Preferences.

As an example, here’s the first part of the table for Abbey Road 50s Drummer Autumn Kit.

thanks Canopus that is helpful

but im wondering if there isnt something more direct 

like changing the PRV keyboard to display note numbers instead of note names

or cliking a midi note with one of the tools etc.

again it seems like this is something commonly encountered by people creating 

drum maps but no intuitive way of achieving it within Cakewalk.

not very computery if have to go to the manual to find note numbers now, is it.

Funny thing is, only reason I knew it was there is on my set up it keeps defaulting back to the numbers when I want the Piano keys ( Diatonic) I also see you can set it to match the GM sounds which I didn't know and now I do so thank you for asking because I also learned something new.
