Exchange drums
In Drum Kit Designer, you can produce different sounds by exchanging drums. For all kits, you
can exchange the kick and snare drums. When working with Producer Kits, you can additionally
exchange toms, cymbals, and hi-hat.
Note: Producer Kits and some drums are only available after you download additional content.

The Exchange panel opens to the left if exchange pieces are available for that kit piece.
2 Click the Info button of a selected kit piece to view its description.
3 Click the kit piece that you want to exchange in the Exchange panel. You may need to scroll in
order to find the one you want to use.

Map Drum Kit Designer to external hardware controllers
Drum Kit Designer is compatible with the GM standard. You can also choose GM+, which
maps the keyboard ModWheel for Hi-Hat control. This means that you can use the
keyboard ModWheel to adjust the degree to which the Hi-Hat opens and closes during the
drum performance.
Drum Kit Designer is also compatible with the V-Drum standard.
