How to use drum maps with the Step Sequencer

[Josh Powell]

I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to use drum maps with the step sequencer such that if I select the drum map as the output device it will populate the row with the correct names and assignments. So far I cannot figure out how to do this.  

It's frustrating that everytime you open a new midi track in the step sequencer everything is reset with the note names and no organization to the drums that are present. 

Is there a way to use a drum map to organize the step sequencer in the same way that you can with the piano roll?

Selecting the drum map as the output device has no effect when selected as shown in the image.

The drum map should be set as the output of the MIDI track NOT in the step sequencer.

When using an instrument track this may be accomplished by clicking on the MIDI tab in the track inspector to access the MIDI output drop down.

Ahh, okay. I can see the changes in there. That's interesting.  I will play around with that and report back with any issues or questions.

So I've made it further with this and have a handful of drum maps working nicely with the step sequencer. The next step is that it would be useful for many people if we could collect together in one place all of the drum maps for the Toontrack EZX expansions.  It would appear these are not provided by Toontrack (at least anywhere that I can find) so please post here with any drum maps that you might have.

Thanks. I created a new post there for sharing Toontrack Drum Maps.
