DAW drum maps

Free drum maps for 114 drum engines, made from the same note maps the converter uses. Each file names every note the engine plays, so your piano roll shows drum names instead of note numbers. The files use MIDI note numbers, so they work with either octave convention.

How to load a drum map

Reaper .txt
In the MIDI editor, choose File → Note/CC names → Load note/CC names from file, and pick the .txt file.
Cubase .drm
Open MIDI → Drum Map Setup, click Load and pick the .drm file. Then choose the map in the Drum Map field of the track's Inspector.
Studio One .pitchlist
In the Edit view, click the wrench icon to show the pitch names, then drag the .pitchlist file onto them. Save it from the Pitch Names menu to reuse it.
Ableton Live .adg
Drag the .adg file onto the drum track in Live 11 or 12, in front of the plugin. Open a clip: each row of the MIDI editor shows its drum name. Notes play unchanged.
Logic Pro .pattern
Copy the .pattern file on your Mac to ~/Music/Audio Music Apps/Step Sequencer Settings/Patterns. In Logic Pro, open the Step Sequencer on the drum track, open the Pattern Browser (⌥⇧B), choose Patterns → User and click the template. Each row shows its drum name and plays its note.
Note map .pdf
Open the .pdf in any PDF viewer: it lists every note by drum, with its number and name. Print it or keep it beside your DAW.

FL Studio and Bitwig Studio cannot load note-name files. Use the engine's note map to find each drum, or convert your MIDI to the engine you play.
