[Stk] Drum noteOn?

[Beinan Li]

This is an old problem I encountered.
The original drum sample mapping in STK is kinda confusing at first glance;
Just try to look at the drummer.cpp drum mapping code more closely,

Three relevant traces to keep in mind:
1. The arrays $genMIDIMap and $waveNames,
    genMIDIMap[i] refers to an index in waveNames,
    you can change the mapping to your own scheme.
2. Line 88, your input noteOn instrument index is mapped to $noteNumber in a
non-linear way
3. Line 126, finally $noteNumber is used as genMIDIMap index to address
waveNames, tadah...

Best,
Beinan
