This is all done via the I-Note and O-Note columns of the Drum Map – they can be a bit confusing, so pay attention to the following! The actual notes that create these events and that are sent when these events are triggered, can be different to this internal representation.

The notes that you associate names with – shown in the Drum Map’s Pitch column – are just the notes that Cubase uses internally to represent different drum-hit events.

You can define these names directly from within the Drum Editor (just double-click on an instrument name to edit it), or you can do so from the Drum Map Setup panel. At their most basic, Drum Maps associate a drum-instrument name with a MIDI note, and it is these names that are displayed in the Drum Editor’s instrument list.
