Native Instruments Battery
Please use the “GM mapped” loops with NI Battery. First, try the gm mapped “single track”. The next best choice is the
gm mapped “type 0” files.
These files should work with either product and are stored in folders with “DFH” in the name.
Toontrack Superior 1
You can use our Superior 2 loops with Superior 1 also. These files are stored in folders with “Superior 2” in the name
(NOT SD2!). Here's how...
When you start Superior, select "GM Extended" mode. If you already have Superior 1 open, simply restart it and it will
give you the option to select GM Extended mode.
Superior 1 Kits
We've made it easy for you by creating five Superior 1 kits for use with our loops. The five kits are slightly modified
versions of the five original Superior 1 kits (DW, Fibes, Ludwig, Premier, Sonor). Same kick, snares, toms, etc.
These kits guarantee that the ride and cymbals trigger properly with our loops. You can edit these kits if you like and save
them for future use. You don't have to use them BUT they give you a starting point and eliminate guessing which of the
cymbal and ride slots to use.
Note: You can use any kits you like as long as you have the ride and crashes loaded properly (ride slot 4, cymbal slots 2
and 4...don't forget the cowbell (special), splash and spock (china) too!
Bottom line: It is very easy to start with our kits and change them, if necessary, to suit your style!
The Superior 1 kits are included in our customer download area (top menu, right side AFTER you login).
After making a purchase, You'll find the kits in the download named "Extras" and the Superior 2 files in the download
named "Supplemental Mappings".
