Re: Getting TR-808/909 kits, and other great kits for the DTXpress using SoundFonts

2000-02-08 by Giles Hearn

Joe.
Nice tip. I've been using SoundFonts for YEARS but
never thought of triggering them with the kit.
I've got a load of excellent drumfonts - Tama, Yamaha
(!), V-Drums etc. If you like, I can put them up on my
website.

You're right about the MIDI note numbers, though. If
they're not pure GM soundfonts, you'll get kicks on
tom pads, cymbals on kick pads and the like.
Having said that, I noticed the other day that when I
recorded the DTXpress to MIDI (for a laugh), the
standard GM MIDI kit was all over the place. The kick
and snare get pushed out on Notes 98 or 99 instead of
35 and 38. All the other toms and cymbals are OK, but
I had to re-map the kick and snare. Did you find this?
