MIDI Editors
There are several ways to edit MIDI in Cubase. You can use the tools and functions in the Project window for large-scale editing or the functions on the MIDI menu to process MIDI parts in various ways. To manually edit your MIDI data on a graphical interface, you can use the MIDI editors.
Drum Maps
A drum kit in a MIDI instrument is most often a set of different drum sounds with each sound placed on a separate key. For example, the different sounds are assigned to different MIDI note numbers. One key plays a bass drum sound, another a snare, and so on.

Selecting a Drum Map for a Track

To select a drum map for a MIDI track, open the Map pop-up menu in the Inspector or in the Drum Editor and select a drum map.
To deactivate the drum map functionality in the Drum Editor, open the Map pop-up menu in the Inspector or in the Drum Editor and select No Drum Map.
Even if you do not use a drum map, you can still separate sounds by name using a name list.

Note

Initially, the Map pop-up menu only contains GM Map.
