Hello-
 
I'm using Abbey Road Modern Drummer plug with kontakt in X2 and I wondered if there is a way I can change the simulated keyboard on the left to drum names? It seems to work in the native drum plug-in but can't find where/if I can do it with NI?
 
Thanks!

It's a split pane kind of deal. See if you can locate the separator bar with the mouse at either the top or the bottom of the PRV window. you have to drag to make it visible.

Cool-- I'll check that out.
 
BTW--What kind of guit is that in your profile picture?

I have the same question. Sometimes I see piano keys and on some projects drum names. I found the split pane thingy, but when I dragged it down it was empty.

Actually, I found that if I right-click on the vertical keyboard I can select the display to be of another instrument and I just chose General MIDI (GM).
 
Worked great regardless of what soft-drum I'm using.

Ah... that, my friend, is a Gibson L6-S Deluxe. From '75 or '76, I believe.

You can assign a drum map to the track.  You can have either a standard one, like GM or one that's customized.  Need help understanding what they are for beyond just the names, check out the tutorial video on did about them on my website at http://www.blades85.com
 
Hope that helps.

I usually right-click on anything when I'm not getting anywhere to see if there is a missing menu. I missed this one. Thanks to your tip, I found where I could chose GM, but the fonts are so small I can't read them. Yes I'm a tad older but I wouldn't be able to read them even when I was 27 years younger using Deluxe Music Construction Set on an Amiga...
I can't find where I can increase the font size.

wow!

I'm not sure how to increase the font size inside of X2, but there are assistance settings inside of Windows you could use. Go to control panel for the assistance option and look for the magnifier. Then just use it on the MIDI names.
