When re-mapping is needed, it can be set up in either the source or the destination. If both utilize the official General MIDI drum-note standard, then you’ll be good to go, but the General MIDI drum standard is almost universally considered way too simplistic and too limiting for truly expressive drum instruments, so both e-drum kits and the better drum VIs tend to use their own custom drum maps, to allow for greater nuance and musical expression. Obviously, the main concern when using an electronic drum kit to trigger Virtual Instrument drum sounds is mapping the trigger notes generated by hitting the pads and cymbals of the kit to the correct notes for the matching drums and cymbals in the VI. Often this can be relatively straightforward to set up, but there are still a number of issues that may frequently crop up between hardware and software. But even with the high-quality sounds of today’s kits, electronic drummers still may choose to use those kits to trigger their favorite virtual drum plug-ins. Today’s electronic drum kits are a far cry from early models-stiff, noisy pads have given way to quiet mesh heads with natural response, and clichéd synthetic beeps and boops have evolved into sophisticated, highly realistic drum and cymbal sounds.
