The midifilemapper discussed above is prolly handy as a pocket on a shirt, but I'm not going to reconfigure my network/PC settings to use it. I think suffering thru piano roll conversions or even just buying/scrounging some bits that are already GM will be the easiest approach. The drum tracks will be replaced in SONAR later. Just something to work with to get song ideas going. These don't need nuance because they won't end up being the final drum tracks. I also have EZ Player Pro, so I might be able to use that to do the mapping and record the MIDI out of it. I *assumed* it would be a trivial task to get a basic set of patterns out of EZD and/or AD that I could use for this purpose. I want to add some basic patterns for other time sigs (6/8 right now), which the FA supports by way of importing MIDI files.

All of the built in rhythms (drum patterns) are 4/4. The details: I have a newly acquired Roland FA 06. MIDI File Mapper will give you detailed information about what files it is converting, and will display any errors encountered in red text.įor my purposes capturing feel is good enough. Convert Files Once you are happy with the options you selected, click Begin. You can also choose whether to force all MIDI files to a specific MIDI file type, or leave them unchanged at this stage. If it does not exist, MIDI File Mapper will offer to create it for you. Select Output File Details In this step, you must specify an empty folder for your converted files to be placed in. If MIDI File Mapper does not show your chosen mapping in the list, you can browse for it yourself. In many cases, they simply provide names for each note). (Remember though that not all Cakewalk and Cubase drum maps actually perform any mapping of note numbers. Additionally, MIDI File Mapper can use Cakewalk or Cubase drum maps. This is either one of the XML rules files provided with MIDI File Mapper, or one you created yourself. Select Mapping Rules In this step, you must select a mapping rules file.

Select Input Files If you chose to specify files to convert yourself, then in this dialog you can select those files, either by dragging them in from Windows explorer or by clicking Browse and using the standard Windows file selector dialog.

MIDI File Mapper ships with some built-in mappings for popular drum samplers and allows you to create your own.

EZD to GM MIDI File Mapper is a file converter that remaps the drum kit between the input and output file, according to the rules that you give it.I guess the easiest way is to open PRV and drag notes to the correct values, then drag the clip out to create a file I want to load them in a keyboard/workstation.
