Yes I just did this. A second instance of TTS-1 for the bass. Works fine.

I have not dealt with drum maps and the data from the DR880.
Would this allow separation of instruments (like in SD3) or is this a different function?

Wish I knew that. I would have thought that you could do that with the midi sequencer.  But, i was not able to get that to work either.

From what little I researched so far, it seems to be mainly for labeling the existing instruments for ease of editing once you have the midi data in the PRV. 
But I'm not seeing an ability to create trax yet so not seeing the advantage.

Hmm... it's not perfect. The drums played via ez are not the same as they are played native on the 880.   
Guessing that is where the mapping comes into play... Yes?

If the MIDI is using channels (2 for bass 10 for drum) you only need on instance of TTS-1. Set the second channel on the TTS-1 to a bass. Channel 10 is always set for drums.

I told EZ Drummer to create separate tracks when it opened up. I got all the tracks but the midi was only applied to the first ez drummer track that was created.

What is TTS-1?
is that something that comes with the purchased version of X2 Producer?

I don't think mapping will help with that.
The samples on the 880 are it's own and are not transferable. 
If you want those sounds you will have to record them as audio.
The sounds (samples) you get from the various softsynths are replacing the 880 (samples) sounds.  
IOW the soft synths are simply using the midi data generated by the 880 pattern.
The good part is there are a lot of sample options in the softsynths and they are easy to change.

A drum map may help. EZDrummer is not a GM Drum synth.

Yes. Its a GM synth. It has 16 channels. Which gives you 16 different instruments. Each channel can playback its own patch. Its modeled on the Roland Sound Canvas.
