Default Pre made midi mappings

Hello, I've been working with friends who use different drum libraries and I've had the problem of mapping my own patterns to their libs or vice versa. I found IX's nifty MIDI mapper, but it's a bit of a pain to edit the config file on the spot - it's a job best done on a rainy day.

It's not raining at the moment, so I wonder: do you know of ready made mapping files for popular libraries?

There are several in the Reaper Stash. Haven't used them but something for you to check out.

That section of the Stash is full of note name maps, that simply give names to rows in the MIDI editor. Basically, two columns: MIDI_note_number and NAME. They're no use for translating from a mapping to another. What I'm looking for is a related, but different type of map. They usually contain 3 columns and are used by JS: MIDI Map to Key v2 [Xix]. Some examples are found in the Reaper resource path under Data/ix_keymaps/

I was browsing the Stash without too much hope, when I found something that is actually meant for translation. It's an excel spreadsheet that can be used as a template to generate such files in a semi-automatic way.

Nice tip, thanks! No rainy day necessary now: I'll only need a few rainy hours.

The excel spreadsheet, created by oshlom, is here:

(For future searchers, hoping search engines take the bait.) Here's a semi-automatic tool to translate remap transform midi drum parts. Map drum patterns between different drum libraries. Excel spreadsheet to change from a drum map to another. For example, translate a drum part from a General MIDI GM mapped kit to any other mapping. Addictive Drums Superior Drummer Slate Drums Strike 2 EZDrummer DrumMica Todd's Drums BFD Abbey Road Studio Drummer Superior Drummer SD3. Ok, that should be enough).
