This is a virtual drum kit in SFZ format using samples recorded by Vincent "Tchackpoum" Sermone. The MIDI mappings are set up with the intention of working for many popular e-drum kits (Alesis, Roland, Simmons, et. al.) without having to futz about with MIDI note numbers.

The sound files include a combination of mono and stereo samples. All mono samples are routed to stereo output and are panned as needed to fit the overall stereo profile of the kit.

This kit has been tested with sfizz

• Create a new midi track, name it something like "Drum Kit", select Instrument: sfizz-multi.
• In the Plugin Setup dialog, select Output Configuration: 10 Channels, and Enable Fan out.
• Open the sfizz-multi plugin on the track, load the full_kit.sfz file.
• Rename the output busses in order:
  • Overheads
  • Kick
  • Snare
  • Toms
  • Hihat
• Have fun

Edit keymap.sfz to customize the midi note mapping.

To use multiple stereo instances of sfizz instead of sfizz-multi, load the following files:

• overheads.sfz
• kick.sfz
• snare.sfz
• toms.sfz
• hihat.sfz
