your best bet would be to draw out a midi map for the garritan general orchestra

look for drum mapping in the users manual.

It should be in there

Not much of a percussionist so cant help u on this one

But I know that there is a way to map it. I think u have to find the note on the virtual keybard then assign it to soething.

Again wish i could be more specific but the manual should teach u eveyrthing u need to know

i dont understand "midi mapping". i didnt see anything like that in the manual, and i dont know how to assign a instrument frome the keyboard.

Chapter 10 of the manual

Staff Tool

Read from the middle of page 26 on and you'll get what I mean

Its called "percussion mapping"

not midi mapping

Your best bet is to probably create your won map for the orchestral set in Garritan
Its unfornutate that they didnt set it up. But ur going to have to knaw at that manual and learn to how to map that note that triggers the gong on to a original mapping.

Sorry I cant be of much help but I know that thats the way to do it. Or you can just load it into a DAW such as Cubase or Sonar and work from there.
