Percussion MIDI Maps

A Percussion MIDI Map is simply a list that matches each percussion instrument in a sound library with a particular MIDI note number (e.g. bass drum = 36, snare drum = 38, etc.). These maps are required to properly assign the same percussion notation to various playback devices, and are also used to accommodate the many different percussion sound banks that can be used for input with an external MIDI device.

To playback your percussion parts using the correct instrument sounds, ensure the appropriate Percussion MIDI Map is selected under the Percussion Map column of the ScoreManager.
