Right. I understood what you meant. However, notice that work needed in step 1? That's fine when you're talking about a very small number of notes... doing that on a larger scale (even a reasonably sized 5 piece kit with a few cymbals) is the work I've been talking about. Again, it's about scaling the workflow. If you know you're going to use the same exact plugin all the time, that's one thing.... that workflow could be a good fit. If, like me, your drum parts can (or do) come from multiple sources (each using their own, sometimes quite whacky, note assignments, the work flow simplyy falls down and you realize you're better off capturing things at the audio layer.
But again, for a simple and consistent environment, mapping at the MIDI layer could be a good fit.
