Musescore 4 Percussion Mapping | MuseScore
I’ve been banging my head against a wall trying to figure this out:
What is the midi mapping for the percussion drumset on musescore 4
The documentation page for that part (musescore.org/en/handbook/4/drumset-customization) seems unfinished and so this has been painful trying to figure out the sounds.
On that page the little bit of text it has is talking about the general midi mapping for percussion, but interestingly musescore doesn’t exactly use the gm mapping, as it uses key# 27,28 and 29 for hi hat and also has 934850385 different toms where some important percussion instruments should be.
So, does anyone actually know, or do I need to try every single key and then document it somewhere?
Edit: Just found out the drumset has different mappings from the “Percussion” Instrument? when does that make sense?
Tbh i feel like musescore needs a percussion revamp because why is it THIS difficult to put some instruments on a stave? This isn’t just a percussionist issue either; how are composers going to write Mallet parts and Percussion 1, 2, etc parts, if the only feasable thing to do is to just make a different paper for each instrument (absolutely ridiculous).
