I had an Akai MPD24 that had some built-in presets, selectable from the unit itself. One was a GM map. Since Session Drummer 2 follows the GM layout all I did was select that map and it assigned every drum to a pad. Of course I had to then re-arrange them into a grid that made sense to me, but that is a different story.

Also, for those that use Session Drummer 2 I have created some kits for it out of free samples found around the net. Instructions & info is available in the included PDF. Are these as good as Addictive Drummer - EZ Drummer-etc? No, but they ARE usable & give you more choices for sounds.
