Importing midi drums from addictive drums/cubase into KRONOS

[ferares4]

Hi,

I'm pretty new using Kronos, I have a very specific configuration and I'm not finding the best solution for me.

I use to record drum tracks in cubase, by using Addictive Drums 2 VST with an Alesis DM10 drum map, I need this to play my e-drum and map the pads correctly into AD Drums. This is important as I cannot just change the drum map in AD Drums.

Once I have the track recorded and edited, I'm trying to export in midi format and import later in Kronos, this way I can have all my drums easily recorded and edited ready for play along.

I already figured out how to import this into Kronos and I can make them sound by selecting the track with any g(x) program, however, those are not my favorites in terms of sound.

I need to find out any way to standardize the track before importing into Kronos and make sure I can play the track with any drum program.

Does anybody have any idea on how to achieve it?


Thanks!!!

You can set AD Drums to use a GM drummap, if you can change your e-drums to GM you can play your MIDI files on the Kronos with a GM drumkit

Thanks for your reply.

Actually that wont work as the DM10 module doesn't support out GM formats.

I have found a solution that works for me, I'll put it here just in case someone finds it useful...

Its a combination of two steps.

1. I found this tool to convert any midi file map to another format: https://archive.codeplex.com/?p=midifilemapper, there are some standard mapping files already, however you can create a new xml file to create your own converting format, this way I was able to convert my DM10 midi exported file into GM mapping file and import it into KRONOS.

2. To use my file with any Drum program in KRONOS just found out there that you have to transpose the program one octave and that make the magic. In my case I transposed +12 semitones and worked perfectly.
