For GMkit the instrument _id 7_, the _position 8_, (_Tom Mid_) would then be assigned to `<midiOutNote>73</midiOutNote>` to \r\n\r\nSince MIDI out channel & MIDI out note are hard-coded in the drumkit XML file, this change would require to recode all drumkit XML.\r\nBut instead, hydrogen could run the two checks on top when reading the drumkits. Maybe enabled/disabled by a setting.\r\n\r\nI think this small Thanks for considering.\r\n"}}
