DrumMIDI Mapper
Complete Drum MIDI Conversion & Mapping Suite
More Than A MIDI Converter
DrumMIDI Mapper is not just a basic note remapping tool. It's a complete drum MIDI conversion and mapping suite built for real production workflows.
When a groove is written for the wrong drum library, most tools only handle simple note reassignment. DrumMIDI Mapper goes further by giving you a complete workflow for converting drum MIDI between plugin maps, reviewing articulation routing, handling fallback behaviour, importing custom maps, translating DAW drum-map files, exporting maps, and manually building maps when needed.
It helps remove repetitive manual cleanup and gives producers one place to manage drum map compatibility across plugins, sessions, and DAWs.
Production-Ready Workflow
Select Source & Target Maps
Choose the correct source map for your incoming MIDI, then select the target map for the drum library you want to use. No guesswork—just pick the right profiles and go.
Drag & Drop MIDI Import
Load MIDI files instantly with drag-and-drop or bulk import. Whether it's a single file or an entire folder, DrumMIDI Mapper handles it without breaking your flow.
Review Articulation Routing
See exactly how each articulation is routed in the Map Info table before you export. No black-box conversion—you know what changed and why.
Export Converted MIDI
Export single files or bulk-export entire batches. Drag converted MIDI directly to your desktop, a folder, or straight into your DAW—no extra steps, no file management headaches.
Native Desktop Integration
Drag-out converted MIDI files directly from the app to your desktop or DAW. No export dialogs, no extra clicks—just grab and go.
Transparent Conversion Process
Unlike black-box converters, DrumMIDI Mapper shows you exactly what's happening. Review routing, verify articulations, and export with confidence.
Complete Drum MIDI Conversion Suite
MIDI Conversion Engine
Convert drum MIDI between any app maps with source and target map selection. Drag-and-drop MIDI import, load and save copies, or bulk import and export entire folders. Native desktop drag-out lets you drop converted files directly into your DAW, folders, or desktop.
Map Info Table
View articulation routing between selected source and target maps in a clear table format. See exactly how each drum voice translates across libraries, with full visibility into note assignments and fallback logic for toms, rims, hi-hats, cymbals, chokes, and off-center snares.
Custom Map Library
Import your own drum maps and add them directly into the app map lists. Pin custom maps to the top of dropdowns for quick access, or remove them when no longer needed. Your imported maps integrate seamlessly with the built-in library for full conversion support.
DAW Map Converter
Translate supported drum-map files between DAW formats in the dedicated DAW Map Converter tab. Convert maps from one DAW to another without touching MIDI, perfect for moving your drum map library across production environments or sharing maps with collaborators.
Map Import / Export
Import DAW drum-map files into the app library for use in MIDI conversion, or export app maps back out to supported DAW formats. The Map Import / Export tab gives you full control over your map library, bridging the gap between your DAW and the conversion engine.
Map Creator
Build custom drum maps manually from articulation and note rows in the Map Creator tab. Load templates from existing app maps to start with a known layout, then modify and export your custom map to supported DAW formats. Full manual control for advanced users and custom libraries.
Intelligent Fallback Logic
Expanded fallback routing ensures your MIDI converts cleanly even when articulations don't match perfectly. Smart handling of toms, rims, hi-hats, cymbals, chokes, and off-center snares keeps your drum programming intact across different libraries and sample sets.
Universal Note Standard
All maps use the shared C1 = 36 note naming convention, eliminating confusion across DAWs and libraries. No more guessing whether your kick is on C1, C2, or something else. One standard, consistent across the entire app and all supported formats.

Choose target drum map
Select the drum map format you want to convert to from the target dropdown.
Load your MIDI file
Drag and drop a .mid or .midi file into the import zone, or click to browse and select.
Review conversion details
Check the conversion summary, routing info, map details, and fallback behaviour before exporting.
Export converted MIDI
Save a copy or drag the converted MIDI directly to your desktop, folders, or DAW session.
Advanced options
Import custom maps, translate DAW drum-map files, or build new maps manually inside the suite for complete control.
Why Producers Use DrumMIDI Mapper
Transparent routing workflow
See exactly where every note goes. No guesswork, no hidden conversions—just clear, visual routing that makes sense the first time you open it.
Removes repetitive note cleanup
Stop manually fixing MIDI notes every time you switch libraries. Map once, apply instantly, and get back to producing.
Built for collaboration and archive recovery
Swap templates, recover old sessions, or adapt client files without rewriting MIDI. Works across DAWs, libraries, and workflows.
Built-in and custom map support
Use included maps for popular libraries or create your own. Full control over articulation routing, no limitations.
Extends beyond MIDI conversion
DAW map translation, map import/export, and manual map creation. It's a complete mapping solution, not just a converter.
Designed for multi-library workflows
If you work with more than one drum library, this tool saves hours. Switch between libraries without losing your programming.
