Add instrument to set up when not listed

I am wanting to use a log drum from my VSL instruments. VSL have playback templates and expression maps for my instruments but there is no log drum listed in the Dorico instrument list. I have to load up another instrument, for example toms, then change the name to log drum. Then I have to change the instrument in the synchron player. Does this mean I need to build my own expression map, and save it? Would it then be available in Doricos instrument list after this?

BTW still loving Dorico…been here since Finale went and have written loads with it. What a great piece of software with a wonderful community/development and support team. Finding the UI so good, and the look of the finished music is great without having to spend hours on layouts.

have found this video by Anthony and I think it will solve it!
