Altima_Boy did it for the Battery 3 factory library. I'm hoping there is a package for Battery 4 too.

Nothing in the X3 drum maps folder by default?

I was amazed to see there is not even a catagory for Battery on the NI users library page, that's the first place i would have looked.
 
Google, and the only relevent hit is this thread.

For any kit I actually use, I customize it to assign each desired cell to its own stereo outputs anyways - never thought to look for drum maps.
 
I just created a Word document with the note names, note numbers, and kit pieces for reference, and don't bother with drum maps.

Thanks for looking Glyn.
 
Someone did it for Reaper: http://stash.reaper.fm/19452/Battery%204%20Drum%20maps.zip
 
They are just text files so it is easier to write scripts to make them.
 
It would be cool if SONAR drum maps could be prepared outside of the Drum Map Manager as a database or as a CSV type of file. If so, then all the info in the Reaper Drum Map text files could be transferred for use to SONAR automatically.
 
Maybe that's possible?

It would be nice if Native Instruments put out maps for the major DAW's themselves.

Pro Tools doesn't use drum maps.

There are drum maps for Battery 3 that were done some time ago by one of the forum members. I don't know of any for Battery 4. 
 
One of the cool things about BFD 2 and 3 is it creates a drum map for Sonar.

Unfortunately the Sonar Maps are binary not, as pointed out farther above, raw text. If Cakewalk published the data structure(s) I would be happy to attempt writing a little utility to read the Reaper files in. Anyone have a feel for how Cakewalk would respond to that?
