GMC Forum _ CHILL OUT _ Midi Drum Track Query?
Posted by: Sensible Jones Jan 22 2010, 07:37 PM
When I import a Midi track into Reaper how do I assign a Drum Kit to the Drum Track?
Anyone know of any decent FREE Drum Plugins that will work?
Thanks Guys!!
I am getting really frustrated with all this stuff and not being able to figure it out for myself!!

2 ways to do this:
1. Just drop your drum VST into the FX loop for the track with the midi on it
2. Create a separate track for the VST, and use the routing button to route the midi from your original track to the VST
I prefer the second because it alows me to have multiple mid tracks talking to a single drum kit.
As for free drum synths - sorry, I can;t help, but don;t you have NI Komplete? If so, you can use Kontact or Battery as a drum plugin.

I think NI have some free version of Kontakt Player with some sounds included....
There are a free drum module out there, can't remember its name..... bbl. about this...

Thanks Andrew!
I was trying it as per explanation 1 but getting no sound. I was trying with one called DSK DrumZ AcoustiK.
I'm not sure how to do the 'Routing' thing!
No, I've not got Komplete.
I have Kontact and Kore, but not a glimmer of a clue how to use them!! 
I'm a bit 'All the Gear but no Idea' when it comes to all this stuff!!!

OK, I'm D/L'ing the M-Drum now.
I have Kore, I just don't know how to make it work!!
It's in my list of VST's but it doesn't make any noises!!
