Drum Map and midi file export...

Hi

I was wondering if anyone knows how to do this....

I am using Sonar Producer 7 and I collaborate with a person who uses Digital Performer.

We both use Toontracks EZD and Superior 2.

I have a drum map, which I have used to reassing some midi notes to other sounds, eg, snare was on note 38, its now on 68 (to get a different snare sound out of S2.)

I have used the increase velocity on certain notes , eg, added +30 to the hi hat velocity, within the drum map...

This is all fabulous and flexible, and fantastically easy to use......until...8)...

I want to save the midifile/drum map, combination as a new midi file, and have all the changes I have made to velocity and note mapping, within the drum map, reflected in the resultant midi file...

This way, when I send it to my collaborative partner, he can just load the "drum mapped" midi file, import the Preset for Superior 2 and hear exactly what I am seeing...

I just cant figure out, essentially, how to "record" the midi output out of the drum map....which I am sure would work fine...

any help greatly appreciated...

thanks in advance

Here's one more reason to have virtual MIDI ports in your tool kit.

1). Download & install a virtual MIDI cable. [Maple Virtual MIDI Cable; LoopBe1; MIDI Yoke, etc.).
2). Insert two MIDI tracks in Sonar. Set the output of MIDI Track 1 to your customized drum map.
3). In the Drum Map Manager, change the Out Port(s) to that of the virtual MIDI cable [Ex. - Maple MIDI Port 1 - Ch. 10]
4). In MIDI Track 2, set the input to the virtual MIDI cable [Ex. - Maple MIDI Port 1 - Ch. 10]. ARm for recording.

Any clip or live input on MIDI Track 1 will be converted through the Drum Map, then recorded onto MIDI Track 2.
