Guide to Supplemental Mappings We currently offer our customers over a dozen mappings and formats! As we add new formats, they’re added to our “Supplemental Mappings” download. This download is available from our customer download area (top menu, right side after logging in). Note: New formats are added all the time and you can request that we map our loops for your drum samples. Please email [email protected] to make a request. If you have any questions about our mappings and formats, please let us know. For a complete listing of available formats arranged by product, please click here: Groove Monkee Formats Current Formats Native Instruments Battery Please use the “GM mapped” loops with NI Battery. First, try the gm mapped “single track”. The next best choice is the gm mapped “type 0” files. Toontrack DFH 1 and 2 These files should work with either product and are stored in folders with “DFH” in the name. Toontrack Superior 1 You can use our Superior 2 loops with Superior 1 also. These files are stored in folders with “Superior 2” in the name (NOT SD2!). Here's how... When you start Superior, select "GM Extended" mode. If you already have Superior 1 open, simply restart it and it will give you the option to select GM Extended mode. Superior 1 Kits We've made it easy for you by creating five Superior 1 kits for use with our loops. The five kits are slightly modified versions of the five original Superior 1 kits (DW, Fibes, Ludwig, Premier, Sonor). Same kick, snares, toms, etc. These kits guarantee that the ride and cymbals trigger properly with our loops. You can edit these kits if you like and save them for future use. You don't have to use them BUT they give you a starting point and eliminate guessing which of the cymbal and ride slots to use. Note: You can use any kits you like as long as you have the ride and crashes loaded properly (ride slot 4, cymbal slots 2 and 4...don't forget the cowbell (special), splash and spock (china) too! Bottom line: It is very easy to start with our kits and change them, if necessary, to suit your style! How to get the Kits The Superior 1 kits are included in our customer download area (top menu, right side AFTER you login). After making a purchase, You'll find the kits in the download named "Extras" and the Superior 2 files in the download named "Supplemental Mappings".

Toontrack Superior 2 These files are stored in folders with “Superior 2” in the name (NOT SD2!). You can use our loops with EZPlayer or with the built in groove browser. A. Here's how to setup Groove Monkee loops for use with the Superior 2 groove browser: Copy our Superior 2 folders into the Toontrack “My MIDIFILES” folder and you'll be able to use the groove browser to audition loops and drag and drop loops into your host (Sonar, Cubase, Pro Tools, etc.). NOTE: You can find the Toontrack "My MIDIFILES" folder by opening the Superior 2 groove browser and right clicking or double left clicking on the "My MIDIFILES" folder. On a PC, this will open up a Windows Explorer window so you can see the exact location of the folder. B. Here's how to setup Groove Monkee loops for use with Superior 2 and EZPlayer Pro: 1. Create a folder on your hard drive named "Groove Monkee Superior 2" 2. Create two folders inside the folder you created in step 1, "Groove Monkee Drums" and "Groove Monkee Percussion" 3. Move your Groove Monkee Superior loops into the folder named "Groove Monkee Drums" 4. Move your Groove Monkee Superior PERCUSSION loops into the folder named "Groove Monkee Percussion".
