Anyone ever use Sampletank Accoustic drums? If so why does none of the drum kits play right? I assume it is something to do withthe Imap system. but i never get any thing to sound right it seems to play the wrong drums

Any thoughts or words of wisdom?



It has everything to do with the Imap system. Imap is a big deal and is designed for keyboard players to play a drum kit on a keyboard and the fingerings make it much easier to play like a live drummer. It works great too. You need to use the GM kits if you're playing a GM midi file. Just a comment here, so many people wonder why these high end samplers don't play midi files the way they think they should. The developers didn't make SampleTank to simply be a midi file player or play Band in a Box songs, it's designed for musicians to create and design their own tracks. When you look at it that way, the fingering of a GM drum kit mapped to a keyboard does not lend itself very well to playing drums. Another reason why pros could care less about GM.
