So happy you uploaded this, thank you! I watched the Halpern/Cubase setup a few times, and still couldn't get it quite how I had hoped. Gonna go through this with it soon. 🙏
As i'm a regular user of Superior Drummer 3 it would be awesome to have a map in GGD like that. So that i can use the grooves from Superior Drummer in GGD without having to move all the drumhits around.
Has anyone else had a problem with drum mapping? When using programmed drums, there's only sound when the inspector track is set to No Drum Map, and the settings in Invasion is set to Invasion.
You and this drum editor are the reason I switched from Logic to Cubase Its like a new language but I basically said 'fuck it I'm tired of English, lets learn Icelandic cause it sounds better' Thank you for your Nollydge and dope music good SIR
After loading up Modern & Massive for the first time, I was able to get the kit sounds to work in Cubase drum editor but every time I re-label them, I can’t get the names of the drums to stay (even after saving the drum map). Any thoughts? I’ve watched this video a dozen times and it is still not working for me. For some reason, all of the drum names revert back to their default names and all of the sounds are scattered. Is there something else I could try?
Thank you very much for this. It's been driving me mad trying to get my Alesis Crimson Mesh kit to work properly. I knew about drum maps and I've been trying to get them to work but, on all the websites I've looked (including Steinberg's) nowhere, until in the first minutes of your's, does it say to activate drum maps for the track!!!! I still have a problem with Alesis's terrible HiHat MIDI implementation but at least I can now reprogram the kit to GM standards. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
StoneWood Bear ive got my invasion map up there and on my TH-cam as well. Along with a routing template. So if you’re not a member of GGD Facebook group you can have at that one as well!
I wish there was an easier way to use midi drums. I find it so fiddly with tiny little midi notes everywhere. Wish ggd came with a big, clear midi map screen with grooves ready to drop in down the side, I would buy it if it did! What videos would you recommend for someone struggling with programming midis drums, Misha? I use Studio One and Superior Drummer 2
They are the old version of the HD 800. You can find a used set of cans for a little under a grand if you hunt the forums. The revision, HD 800S is available new for $1400 on sale right now. They are very wide and have great detail, but they are not my favorite for general listening. They get pretty fatiguing. Unless you have deep pockets, I would not suggest getting into HIFI Audiophile Headphones. It is an expensive hobby, as you also need to have a pretty good AMP and DAC stack for higher end headphones. To get a good HD 800S setup, you will be spending like $2000, if you buy them when they are on sale. You can buy something like the Hifiman Sundaras and a good entry amp for around $650 total, or you can get a good HD6xx setup for as low as $400 with an entry DAC/AMP. The issue is that you will never be satisfied, and you will be spending like 700 on some Elex or LCD-2Cs. Then you will want a better AMP/DAC setup. Then you will want a $1k headphone to see what it sounds like, and then you'll want another... Then you'll want some quality IEMs and a Mobile Amp... And it continues until you stay broke!!!
@@Zerosixious best advice would be: get some good quality headphones like beyerdynamic dt770 pro an get used to them. Mix with reference tracks and listen to a lot of music
After making my own map I cannot use the GGD Midi groove packs properly . Is there a workaround for this . I can play my E drums but I can't use the midi grooves. Can someone help me PLS !
I followed all the steps, but once I set the GM on Cubase, I dont have any sound for any drums within Cubase (when it shows Misha clicking through the setup you can obviously hear the drums). Anything I am doing wrong here? Any help would be more than appreciated!
Got any tips on mapping midi files to different plugins they all seem to have different maps...Groove Agent, MDrummer, Kontakt, Riot Drums, MTPower Drums, SSD5, Halion Sonic SE.
Does anybody know if Reaper allows for sorting midi notes like in Cubase? I'd like to keep my mappings the way they are (kick=36, snare=38, etc) but I love the visual work flow of being able to have kick at the top, then snare underneath, then toms, then cymbals.
PLEASE HELP: I have everything mapped using Cubase's default range for GM (C1 - C#3) , and have no audio when clicking around the Piano Roll or Drum Editor. Even if I program hits, there's no audio coming out of Cubase or Kontakt. Only when I click in Kontakt do I get audio. I have audio in Kontakt itself so I know something is wrong. I have 100% of the outputs ACTIVATED as well. Meaning when I click pieces of the kit on GGD in Kontakt, the faders show I'm getting output in Kontakt and Cubase properly. Drum Map settings in Cubase are also set properly to my liking. Anyone have this issue? ... and potentially have a fix for this? I've uninstalled Kontakt and re done outputs 3 times and managed to get this far now with my errors. Quitting and saving each time helped, but I can't seem to get past this point.
Thank you, very helpful. It also would be cool if you could give these custom maps in GGD a name. The Custom 1-5 can be quit confusing if you have multiple maps programmed
I did all of this but when I open a new project, the mapping is gone. I open the original project where I mapped it and it's there...what's the dill? How do I make the mapping available for every new project. Super lame if I have to remap every time I open a new project. Can you help?
Alright so I made a rack that basically changes the midi editor in Ableton to a drum editor mapped to match the GGD P:IV kit. It can also be adapted to other GGD libraries with minimal adjustments. You just have to load the rack before your instance of Kontakt. Download here: mega.nz/file/6shVWDxa#pk0RtxHU5RkWVYLXMjuwfx80Hs_82ywd2wBoJ1b9zAU Happy programming,
don't 1:01 "I'm just gonna set this to omni"... means look for the "i" icon press it to pull up menu that has "omni" in it / do not know why "channel 10 works as well" ... not sure why channel 10 is referenced or what omni even is So, after this step, I cant hear any sound but see st.1 (?) volume bar is moving when hitting drum, but all drums are only operating on st.1 (?) Hey, Misha, Nolly, Matt and all the guys at GGD. I love your sound and want the knowledge you have. However, I am way behind the curve. I do not understand the sequence of events here... due to my Ignorance. Above is just an example, and I couldn't even get thru step 1 Basics. Could you make a video like this one but "fill in the Blanks" ?... as if you were speaking to an illiterate Barbarian. Because that is just about the size of it. I can get it when its spoon fed. I have Purchased One Kit Wonder and would love to get Invasion. I really want to record my ideas but get caught up in all these tech talks with very little understanding. So, by the time understanding dawns, creativity and desire to create has left the building and it takes days to weeks to get her back. I get that there is a lot of "I" in this post but I am sure there are more "I" Barbs out there. - Thirsty Student
If you're part of the GGD community on Facebook a number of us have shared our custom maps there for everyone to use as they need. It's a really good resource :)
@@MishaMansoor Misha, don't go putting that evil on people! It would be better if he doesn't know. Getting into HiFi audiophile setups is a super expensive hobby that keeps your wallet empty! Just Saiyan. Been following you since the old Bulb FF remakes. I really got into you with your light demo, and knew something special was there. Took forever for you to finally get a band, and get an album out... but look at you now! It is really cool to see people doing their own side projects, and ultimately seeing them find success. Now when are we going to get a Juggernaut sequel album? Both of those albums were catchy in the most amazing way possible.
Doesn't work. Cubase literally doesn't save my maps, and ggd's "GM" setting just makes all keys silent. Multiple tries and hours of lost time. So infuriating.
Don't know if people sorted this or not, but what I did is make a copy like Misha says, complete the drum map as he does, then click save, title it with the name of the kit, and click OK. That way if it doesn't load up properly next time just go to drum map settings, click on functions, then load, and load the drum map in that you saved. Works for me 👍
That is a beautiful thumbnail.
So happy you uploaded this, thank you! I watched the Halpern/Cubase setup a few times, and still couldn't get it quite how I had hoped. Gonna go through this with it soon. 🙏
GGD will probably end up making a DAW.

id buy it so fast
Now that I've got everything working I must say this is absolutely 100% usefull. BIG THANKS Misha, you are a god!
Have been looking everywhere for this. Thank you!

Superior Drummer has become so bloated - i got rid of it and now im on GGD. Had a good run...but it was time to say goodbye really..
Has anyone else had a problem with drum mapping? When using programmed drums, there's only sound when the inspector track is set to No Drum Map, and the settings in Invasion is set to Invasion.
misha is a saviour thanks misha
I'm a little confused, aren't they already midi mapped as standard? Is this just so you can have your preferred set up?
Is there a walkthrough like this for logic?
I don't even have Cubase but i still wanted to watch this lol
You and this drum editor are the reason I switched from Logic to Cubase
Its like a new language but I basically said 'fuck it I'm tired of English, lets learn Icelandic cause it sounds better'
Thank you for your Nollydge and dope music good SIR
I’m thinking the same things might try the free 60 day trial
What are your thoughts other than the drum editor? Cubase better work flow than logic ?

Can you guys pls make this map available for download?
I've been thinking forever to do this exact same thing.
There's an invasion map for download on the GGD facebook page if you're a member. Some minor editing required if you want to fit the PIV kit to it.
StoneWood Bear ive got my invasion map up there and on my TH-cam as well. Along with a routing template. So if you’re not a member of GGD Facebook group you can have at that one as well!
I'm there on the fb group. I'll check it out. Thanks guys

What videos would you recommend for someone struggling with programming midis drums, Misha? I use Studio One and Superior Drummer 2
@GetGood Drums would be great if you could do a turitorial for mapping and programming Djinn Bass
You can also use them with external instruments. I use mine with the TR-8S and freakin' awesome.
I am trying to use drum map with M&M but every time I try to use the drum map or GM map the drum sound shuts off. What am I doing wrong?

How does this work with the MIDI libraries?

anyone knows why when i change from no drum map to GM it doesnt give any sounds?when i change back to no drum map the sound is there?

If you do all this, then drop in anything from a Groove Pack, it all falls apart miserably!
Wish you guys would just release drum maps for each of your drum libraries. So we don't have to do this ;)
