Hello, this is a technical question regarding how the Superior Drummer software stores and makes use of MIDI mapping data saved to its preset files (like .S20 files).
For example, when I load the Avatar drum kit with default settings and then save it as a combined preset (with MIDI checked in the options), there is section within the .S20 file labeled “midi” containing the map data (pasted below). My goal is to understand the relationship between this data and how it is assigned to drum articulations inside the sampler, and how it varies between drum kits and with included X-Drums where relevant.
Take this section of the midi data for instance:
“n 36 36 34 35”
This appears to indicate the logic: for base note/articulation 36, assign midi mappings 36, 34, 35 (where base note/articulation references a drum’s articulation). If that’s true, then what defines the base note in Superior Drummer for a given drum kit/preset? Is it defined elsewhere in the .S20 structure, or is this localized to the sampler/application? In General Midi, 36 = kick drum, so that logic makes sense, but there are other base notes beyond general midi values like “n 108 108 111 112 113 116 117”.
Is there a way to describe the relationship between the midi base note, say “n 108”, and its mapped drum articulation from the preset data?
Thanks for your help.
