Dear Jjazzlab Community! I prefer jjazzlab to other backing track makers like BIAB, Chord Pulse, Chord Pad, Chord Bot. But I have encountered an annoying problem which I can't solve.
When I export a song to a midi file, then I import the midi file to a DAW (Mixcraft 9), there seems to be some kind of mapping problem with the drum track.
The notes in the drum track aren't assigned to the right drum kit element. I have tried many drum maps, but neither of them worked. Transposing is no solution because the sequence of the drum kit element notes and the interval between them in the drum track is different from all of the drum map line sequences. For example: in the drum maps the kick is lower than the snare, but in the midi track the snare notes are lower, the kicks are higher. Any ideas? I have none... Thanks
Peter

Hey Peter,
I had a similar (or the same) problem when I imported Jazzlab's Midi to Reaper. I solved it. Can u use Jazzlab's Soundfont in Minecraft? This should (hopefully) solve (or reduce the amount of possible solutions for) the problem.
Best wishes, Karl aka Torsten

Last week I updated some docs that should help you understand what happens: jjazzlab.gitbook.io/user-guide/configuration/output-synth and jjazzlab.gitbook.io/user-guide/configuration/jjazzlab-soundfontThe key thing to understand is that most Yamaha styles use XG drum map. XG=GM drums sounds+additional drum sounds, and many styles use these additional sounds (brushes, additional snare...). If your output synth configuration says you have a non-XG output synth (for ex. GM), then JJazzLab will automatically remap XG specific sounds to the "closer" GM sound. So what probably happens is that you correctly configured JJazzLab with the JJazzLab SoundFont (backing track sound OK), so the .mid export is expected to be rendered on a XG-compatible synth. But you use a non-XG compatible synth with MixCraft. The solution proposed by Torsten solves this case. In order to make drum track edition easier in your DAW you should change the drum map to XG (I guess it's possible, don't know MixCraft...). Another solution is to change in JJazzLab the output synth configuration to say your synth is only GM compatible. Then JJazzLab will automatically remap the XG sounds to GM sounds when exporting to Midi. But the result may (or not) sound bad, because some XG specific sounds have no close-sounding equivalent in GM.
