Map Drum Notes to Different Outputs
First, we need to create an output to use, so let’s open Cakewalk TTS-1
and use that soft synth for this part of the tutorial.
To Open Cakewalk TTS-1
1. Select Views-Synth Rack from the menu.
2. Click the Insert Synth button in the Synth Rack toolbar and select
Soft Synths-Cakewalk TTS-1 from the menu that appears.
The Insert Soft Synth Options dialog appears.
3. Make sure that the MIDI Source option in the Create These Tracks
section is unchecked.
4. In the Create These Tracks section, check the First Synth Audio Output
option. This option creates a single synth 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
Soft Synth Options dialog.
6. Click OK.
7. An synth 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
Views-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.
