Map Drum Notes to Different Outputs
First, we need to create an output to use, so lets open Cakewalk TTS-1 and use
that soft synth for this part of the tutorial.
To Open Cakewalk TSS-1
1. Select View-Synth Rack from the menu.
2. Click the Insert Synth button in the Synth Rack toolbar and select DXi
Synth-Cakewalk TTS-1 from the menu that appears.
The Insert DXi Synth Options dialog appears.
3. Make sure that the MIDI Source Track option in the Create These Tracks
section is unchecked.
4. In the Create These Tracks section, check the First Synth Output (Audio)
option. This option creates a single audio output track.
5. In the Open These Windows section, check the Synth Property Page option.
This option opens Cakewalk TTS-1 when we close the Insert DXi Synth
Options dialog.
6. Click OK.
7. An audio output track for the Cakewalk TTS-1 appears in the Track view and
the Cakewalk TTS-1 appears. If you don’t see the track, scroll down in the
Track pane to find it.
Now, we can map notes to different outputs.
To Map a Note to a New Output
1. Select your drum track and open the Piano Roll view by selecting View-Piano
Roll from the menu.
2. Right-click in the Note Map pane (the list of drum names on the far left of the
Piano Roll view) and select Drum Map Manager from the right-click menu.
The Drum Map Manager appears.
3. In the Drum Map Manager, change the Out Port for the In Note 46 (Bb3) to
Cakewalk TTS-1.
The new Port/Channel pair Cakewalk TTS-1 1 / 10 appears in the Port and
Channels field at the bottom of the Drum Map Manager.
4. In the Bank column for the Port/Channel pair Cakewalk TTS-1 1 / 1 select
15360-Preset Rhythm.
5. In the Patch column for the Port/Channel pair Cakewalk TTS-1 1 / 1 select
Standard Set.
6. In the Drum Map Manager, change the Out Port setting for In Note 38 (D3) to
Cakewalk TTS-1.
7. Close the Drum Map Manager and play your project to listen to the different
drum sounds.
