Appendix A PC2 Drum Maps Drum maps determine the layout of PC2 drum programs with respect to the notes you play on the keyboard. They don’t control the sounds contained in the drum programs—instead they control where those sounds appear within the MIDI note range. This means that for any given drum program, changing the drum map changes what you hear (if anything) when you play a particular note.
