Drum Maps for Sampler Tracks

Cubase
,
1

Kinda a two part post.

FEATURE REQUEST
Currently the Sampler Track Inspector doesn’t allow you to set a Drum Map for the Track and it should. Really any Track type that uses MIDI should let you set a Drum Map just like on an Instrument or MIDI Track.

WORKAROUND
However there is currently a somewhat stealth way to set a Drum Map on a Sampler Track.

  1. Create a MIDI Part on the Sampler Track
  2. Open the Part using MIDI>Open Drum Editor
  3. In the lower left section of the editor is a dropdown where you can set (or create) a Drum Map
  4. Setting a Map here will set if for the Track

I´m curious, what would you write in the sampler map?

If, for example, you use the Slice feature on a drum loop it would assign each Slice to a unique MIDI Note. So name each Note for whatever sound is on that slice - Kick, Kick/Snare, Tom1, etc. Or right now I’m using it to Slice up some folks speaking, breaking them into individual words. I put the various words on a map.

Agreed, it would be handy to easily have access to a drum map through the sampler track

Since this didn’t materialize with Cubase 13, I’m gonna BUMP this request.

Bumping too, because this would be pretty handy when organizing drum tracks in a single part while involving multiple instruments (and using the sampler tracks as a percussion sampler).
