Since one month I am the owner of the Yamaha Clavinova CVP-705. I like to use midi styles from Biab 2018 as musical accompaniment for my piano play. The most styles I use are jazz with brushes, the GM 41 brush kit. I save the song to midi files. However, the CVP-705 plays some voices of the drum kit different. The issue is that the Hand Clap that is played instead of brush.

I figured out that the Brush Kit is usually the same as the Standard Drum Kit with the following three exceptions:

Note #38 is a Brush Tap instead of a Snare Drum.
Note #39 is a Brush Slap instead of a Hand Clap.
Note #40 is a Brush Swirl instead of a Snare Drum.

Some Yamaha synths use a somewhat different map for the brush sounds. On these synths:

Note #25 is a Brush tap.
Note #27 is a Brush Slap.
Note #26 is a Brush swirl.

I hope that some members on this forum are familiar with this issue and are able to tell me how I an solve this.


Thanks,
Jan R.
