1 Introduction
This document contains a set of tables with the MIDI keyboard (note and key veloc-
ity) and controller (modulation wheel) mappings for the Apple Logic EXS24 sampler
instrument and the Native Instruments (NI) Kontakt 5, Kontakt 3 and Battery 3 sound
libraries. MIDI note mappings are relevant for drum and percussion sound libraries.
MIDI key velocity and modulation wheel are relevant for woodwind, brass and string
sound e↵ects. The tables list the default mappings when the software samples are in-
stalled.
The documentation that comes with the software does not contain these mapping
tables for the various sample libraries. Consulting the tables on the following pages (see

Apple Logic software sequencer (with the NI players as AU software instrument plug-
ins). Also use the tables when looking for a specific drum or percussion sound and find
the sound library that contains the sound (there may be multiple options).

MIDI Key and Controller Mapping

2 Woodwind, brass and strings


In the tables on the following pages find MIDI keyboard (velocity) and controller (mod-
ulation wheel) to sound mapping for the Apple Logic EXS24 sampler instrument and
NI Kontakt 5 or older Kontakt 3 player. VSL refers to the Vienna Symphonic Library
samples that come with the NI Kontakt player.
The notes in the first column for the NI Kontakt player sounds (C . . . F ]) will select
the playing style indicated in the second column (e.g., staccato); for high pitched instru-
ments this corresponds to the C0 octave, for low pitched instruments this corresponds
to the C5 octave.

6 Concluding remarks
The tables on these pages have been compiled by inspecting the software user interface
(detailed mapping information is missing from the software documentation). Therefore,
they may contain errors.
Pitch notation: for the keyboard to drum sound mapping the C3 symbol corre-
sponds to the C 1 (central) on the piano keyboard (MIDI note number 60). Key velocity
and the modulation wheel controller have a range [1 . . . 127].
The tables do not cover all the sound libraries and drum kits that are included in
the software distribution; the list is non-exhaustive and may be extended in the future.
