You might want to shorten the note names to 4 characters and agogo, clave and crash notes are missing.

thanks deranager

I know only the first 4 chars are shown but I could think of any better 4 letter names than what these get truncated to anyway

But I’ve added the missing instrument notes: corrected version is

No worries, I am in the process of editing my definitions down to 4 characters for notes and 8 for CC’s as it does make it easier to read on the display, the problem is truncating them so they still can be understood.

Thanks a lot for this mapping! Does anyone know if there is a chance to map the pitch for snare, kick and toms? Would be a great addition to that.

Unfortunately, no.

Kick/Snare/Tom pitchs are not mapped to Cc on the Volca Beats.
The midi implementation is available here if you like to review it:
