I'd love to find drum maps for the various kits found in Kontakt. I've already found maps for Abbey Road, so what I'm still trying to find are:


Studio Drummer (Garage Kit, Session Kit, Stadium Kit)
Kontakt Band (Central Stage Kit, Funk Kit, etc.)
West Africa

Of lower priority would be:

Kontakt Orchestral
Kontakt Synth
Kontakt Urban Beats
Kontakt Vintage

Any idea where I can find them?

If they don't exist, is there a walkthrough somewhere on how to create drum maps for Sonar, ideally taking advantage of any drum map exporting features that Kontakt might have?

Thanks!

I never thought about doing this, as I use Battery 3 - I took a quick look around but did not see anything within Kontakt to aid with drum maps.

As far as Sonar drum maps go, here is a link to documentation on creating drum maps within Sonar:

I created a drum map for a kit I created in Battery 3 - it was pretty easy - basically just entering note numbers and names.

hey trip... i'm going to be doing a little video on just this topic in a day or two specifically with kontakt. i'll be using instrument definitions though, which are a bit easier to work with.  i'll post it as a follow-up here.

Swamptoot - you certainly have MY attention with this, as well - sounds quite intriguing.

Profound apologies, I made a typo - it should have said SwamptootH, not SwamptooT (and CERTAINLY not Swampgas).

The first one really was a typo - I just couldn't resist on the Swampgas one - I tried - I really did.  :)

I eagerly await your feature film presentation on Kontakt instruments - I have never used them but always wondered about them.

THANKS!!!!
