These EWS64 Drum Maps for Cubase VST 5 and Cubase SE/SL/SX offer easy access by name to all the available instruments
of the drum kits of the EWS64 sound sets GSSBK320.94b and my Drumkits.tts
(view page
Hints to the EWS64):
Standard Kit, Room Kit, Rock Kit, Electro Kit, TR808 Kit, Jazz Kit, Brush Kit, Orchstra Kit und SFX Set.
Notes with no assigned sound appear as ------, followed by the particular note number (1-128).
Different Drum Maps for Cubase VST 5 and Cubase SE/SL/SX:
Using Cubase VST 5, the name of drum instruments in the drum editor is limited to max. 11 signs - in Cubase
SE/SL/SX the names can be longer than 11 signs. For this reason I developed different sets of Drum Maps.
User of Cubase VST 5 should use my VST5 sets of Drum Maps in any case!
