MidiKeys GM Drum Map

README.md

This can be used to play GM MIDI Drums on NumPad.

Use: https://flit.github.io/projects/midikeys/ and replace map in package contents: Contents/Resources/KeyMaps.plist

To get key codes use: https://manytricks.com/keycodes/

In the drum instrument, set GM as the MIDI map and refer mapping there. Used GGD OneKitWonder - Metal for this.

Note: this map is incomplete. Edit the map to add the missing mappings

Note: if KeyMaps.plist is changed the first time in MidiKeys, set the map again. Otherwise it will crash.

Note: in MidiKeys settings, add set "Keys are system-wide hot keys" and check "Control"

Note: consider entries with 42 as unused

Note: might have to switch octaves with left and right

Note: might have to extend the window to see full notes

Note: after editing KeyMaps.plist you must restart MidiKeys app
