MIDI files (or more precisely, Standard MIDI Files files) contain arbitrary messages of the above MIDI protocol.

MIDI itself is just a message protocol and is not the issue here.

There's a distinction to be made here: MIDI, the protocol, MIDI the file format and General MIDI: Still, what gets messed up most are hi-hats (and they ARE standard) and the hand clap. What surprises me most is that my tracks use mainly standard instruments (bass drum, open and closed hi-hats, cymbal, electric snare, hand clap, and sometimes toms), and the only one that may not be seen in many sets is the electric snare (and, surprisingly again, this one is usually played correctly, often replaced with a standard snare or a hand clap). all bass drum notes are C-1's only), but the results are at best mixed (but usually bad).

What does it depend on? I tried changing either the OMPT sample map to GM (in the instruments tab all bass drum notes are mapped to C-1) or made sure notes in OMPT tracks correspond to GM (e.g. Despite displaying GM labels, some vsti's play the OMPT-generated file notes well (BeatFactory by BeatSkillz), some don't (Drum Pro), and some do it with partial success (Sitala - though I'm not done with it yet, as it is highly customizable and very promising). in OMPT, bass drum is mapped to C-3, whereas in GM it is C-1 etc. The first thing that draws attention is that the drum mapping in OPMT is different from MIDI General Map, e.g. I did some experimenting with various drum vsti's and sound fonts and I noticed that there seems to be no single method of 'translating' the notes in drum sequences from OMPT-derived midi files.

The only difference is that the MT Power Drum Kit has many soundbanks whereas I have to download different kits seperately, and not every kit is equally good. I have really good kits of 7mb that sound about the same as the MT Power Drum Kit. You can even download drumkits that follow the general midi spec without other instruments. OpenMPT comes with a general midi soundfont bank that is of low quality, but you can download kits of over 100 mb with really good quality online. The only way you can be assured that you can get a 1-on-1 fit, is by using an SF2, SBK or other soundfont bank player vsti and download a general midi bank in a format this player understands, and it will work out of the box, no note editing necessary. Because the mapping is off, you will not be able to load in a midi track and get it to work magically using the MT Power Drum kit. This drum only has 13 different instruments, and through banks you can load in different sounds, but the general midi specs use 128 different drum sounds. There is one problem with this VSTi, as with many drum VSTi's, it does not adhere to the general midi specs. You are lucky, I know that plugin as I've used it myself. Is there a way to get a similar result in OpenMPT? What do I do wrong? If I load the same midi file in Cakewalk and set the output of the drums track to MT Power Drum Kit (loaded as instrument), everything is replaced immediately and sounds exactly as expected. The result: I can hear either the hi-hat only or no drums at all (I don't know what it depends on). Midi bank - I don't know what to do with it, but it seems whatever I do changes nothing. The midi channel is set to 10 (by default), and I either leave it or change to 'mapped' (no difference).ДҐ. I go to 'Instruments' tab, and I go through each drum instrument (crash cymbal, bass drum, hi-hat, snare etc.) and set the 'Plugin/MIDI' to FX1: MT-PowerDrumKit in a drop-down menu.Д¤.

I load a drum kit plugin (say, as FX1).ДЈ. I'm trying to replace generic drums in a midi file with a drum kit (MT Power Drum Kit - it consists of only one set, so no tweaking is necessary, or even possible).

I thought there is a straightforward answer to my problem, but I haven't found it, which means the answer is either too obvious (alas, not to me) or there may be no answer at all.
