Hi all,
All this talk about percussion maps has got me looking in more detail at
the interface, and now I've got a question.
I've always based my percussion maps on the General MIDI Entry and
Playback map. As I said in my earlier post, if I want snare (for
example) on the third line, I map MIDI pitch B4 to playback 38, set it
to Staff Position 6, and I'm done. But now I see that in the Treble Clef
Entry map, for example, snare is assigned to MIDI pitch 72 (which is
fine, of course) -- using playback 72! I thought the whole point was
that snare is defined in GM as 38, and so if you want a snare sound you
need to playback through 38. How does the Treble Clef Entry map get away
with using playback note 72 for snare?
Have you tried it in your score? Does it work? I think they put those
numbers in just for placeholders, expecting each person to have to put
the exact playback note number they need for their drum-kit patch.
They're not all the same. That's one aspect of GM which is not standard.
