How to Change midi note for percussions ? MS 4.5

• May 22, 2025 - 10:11

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to change the midi note for the percussions ? Because I use Kontakt or other samplers and the notes in my softwares don't correspond with Musescore.
In this example below, for Musescore the Bass Drum is on C2 or in my software it's on C1 !!

Thank for your help

In this video: https://www.youtube.com/live/EzNGTqzsStg?si=lv57bYXb8ypbxuN0&t=2184
you see Marc changing the Woodblock from midi note 116 to 76.
(MuseScore 3 video, but this has not changed)

There might be an option in your Kontakt instrument (probably using C3 as middle C - midi 60) to change this to C4 as middle C (midi 60) as used in MuseScore.

If you are at ease editing files, you also can export default kit as a .drm file and edit it.
e.g.

Just change the
Drum Pitch="xx"
to the midi note you want to use.
You will need to load the adapted percussion map every time you want to use it.
