Hi Sandra,

Depending on the hardware and software you use, there may be 3 possibilities. You may be able to assign the notes on the drum machine, or get the vsti to recognise the notes the machine is sending, or thirdly, you may be able to map them through whichever sequencer you are using.

If the vsti you are using conforms to the midi spec (i.e. uses standard midi mapping) it would probably be better to change either the machine, or map it via the sequencer.

If you can change the notes on the drum machine, it will then work with any setup. So it really depends on the capability of the hardware.

You may also have sounds on the Drum machine that are not available in the midi spec, so you will have to deal with them as you see fit.

If you use a sequencer like Cubase, you may be able to find a mapping already completed.

Hope this helps
