[solved] What is this mysterious stamp all about?
stamp.mscz stamp.mid Here I have a very simple musescore score created by transforming a simple midi into a musescore:
As it can be seen, the drum set beats were transformed into an instrument named as "stamp".
The problem is I couldn't find that instrument in the list of musescore standard instruments (the one that opens up by clicking on the "sound" button on the mixer)
Not only so, but I couldn't it even find such musical instrument called "stamp" on the Wikipedia.
Can anyone, please, explain what this instrument is all about and why musescore transforms percussion into that stamp instead of using other percussion instruments?

Ah! Thank you. I didn't know that files of so many various extensions are allowed to be attached here.
I just attached the score and the midi file to the first message of this thread. They are inserted in the very beginning of it.

OK, It is "Stomp". It is "Stampfen" in German when I import that MIDI, and apparently "Stamp" in your language (Dutch?), but should be "Stomp" in English.

Thank you. My first language is Russian. But the MIDI file was created using a piece of software in English. And the Musescore that I am using (which, therefore, was used to transform that midi file into a score) is also in English. It is strange that it chose the word "Stamp" instead of "Stomp".

Stomp in US English vs Stamp in UK English?

Nah, it is "Stamp" in the sources, so should be US English
Hmm, then again "effect.stamp" stems from MusicXML and some of the driving forces behind MusicXML are British, so maybe you're right and they scewed this one up too (similar to "ledger line" vs. "leger line").
I've asked them, see https://github.com/w3c/musicxml/issues/463

Stomp (or stompbox or foot-drum) is a wooden box. It is placed under the foot. Guitarists use it like a bass drum. There are acoustic and electric versions.
Some guitarists even use the Cajon instrument instead (by attaching a foot-pedal).

"Stomp (or stompbox or foot-drum) is a wooden box. It is placed under the foot. Guitarists use it like a bass drum. There are acoustic and electric versions"
- Do you have any link? I've always thought of a stompbox as of a guitar signal distorting tool.
