If you use the MIDI_KeyMap II plugin in the FX chain before the Ugritone Drums plugin with this preset though, it will add a lot of the missing references/aliases so that the MIDI files will play the Ugritone Drums properly. That means some MIDI drum files intended for Toontrack VSTi will miss a lot of MIDI notes by default, when you use that MIDI with Ugritone Drums VSTi (even if you choose the 'Superior' MIDI mapping in the Ugritone Drums menu). Ugritone Drums VSTi MIDI maps have a fairly compatible mapping to MIDI files intended for Toontrack VSTi (and also to GM MIDI drum files), but they are lacking the extra kit piece mappings and alias mappings. It adds a preset to the plugin that's helpful with Ugritone Drums VSTi, if you intend to use it with GM drum MIDI and/or MIDI intended for Toontrack (EZdrummer, Superior) drum plugins. Once that plugin is installed, import the 'RPL' preset to the plugin from the FX browser's menu.
