Hi Len, I didn't keep the Message-ID of the original thread. On Sun, 29 Mar 2015 23:01:19 -0700 (PDT), Len Ovens wrote: >Tracktion is not good enough to switch for me.

Sequencers should provide a matrix to assign each drum voice to an individual different note on any wanted MIDI channel. Some sequencers do provide such a matrix. I own a DD-11 too and it's owner's guide mentions that it provides 3 kicks, they are assigned to C1 (36), G#1 (44) and A1 (45). IOW 2 of the 3 bass drums are assigned to note numbers, that don't match with GM, so just mapping to MIDI channel 10 not always does the trick. My RX21 provides a kick on A1 (45) only and my TG33 provides the bass drum on C1 (36), G#1 (44) and A1 (45). G#1 (44) and A1 (45) on GM devices are for Hi Hat and Tom, that is the way as my Roland MT-32 and my Alesis D4 factory drum kits provide it. GM might be useful for some needs but for studio work a matrix is needed. IMO a drum kit by default should match as close as possible to GM, but it's common practise to use drum samples from different devices, so a matrix is needed anyway.
