Remapping

Remapping a note from the drum kit to play a certain instrument can be done through the following process:

1. Right click the instrument to map a MIDI note to.

2. Check the learn box.

3. Play the note on the drum kit.

4. The learn box should become unchecked and that note on the drum kit should trigger that instrument.
