I also clicked on the 'add all notes' button just to make sure I had everything from the GM mapping in the percussion layout map.ĥ) I dis a drag and drop of the beats from the MIDI file opened under Finale, into the document created from the wizard.Ħ) In ScoreManager, I selected AD2 as the VST.ħ) In AD2, I selected the desired drum set and selected the GM MIDI map. ģ) I created a new Finale score from the wizard (see attachments) which does have the templatesĤ) I set the percussion map to drumset, and included the GM mapping. b) When you open this MIDI file, the template doesn't have any percussion maps, so. 2 problems here: a) with 2014.5, you can no longer drag a file into Finale to open it. I did these steps:ġ) Export the beat from AD2 to a MIDI fileĢ) open the MIDI file in Finale. I suppose some subtleties are lost in the process, but I don't really care about that. So I went to Plan B, It turns out that in AD2, if you set the current map to GM, it will actually use that for the beats that it exports. This was rather frustrating because the AD terminology is a little different from Finale's terminology, and I had trouble getting a correspondence in many cases. I worked for a couple of hours building a MIID map that corresponded to the Addictive Drums standard MAP, which is quite different from the normal GM map. Is anybody aware of a map already designed for the Addictive Drums 2? That would sure save a lot of madness. But here I am stuck.ġ) it seems like some of the notes are going way under the staff, even though I thought I had included those in the layout map and assigned a positive staff placement value Ģ) and this is the worst, I can't see any way to save the percussion layout map once I have done the 75 hours of work needed to really set that up correctly. And then I brought that into a percussion layout map. I have entered some of the most common MIDI notes into a new MIDI map.

As I understand it, I would need to create 2 things: These AD2 beats use AD2's own MIDI note assignments and they don't match any of the MIDI maps that come with Finale. In most other modern programs, you can simply drag and drop straight from the AD screen into your DAW track, but that's another issue.

These can (an a very tedious way) be brought into the Finale score. One of the things that AD2 can do is generate loads of drum beats as MIDI files. I have Addictive Drums, and it works fine as a VST under Finale. These percussion maps seem extraordinarily tedious.
