### Step 1: Installing and Activating MT Power DrumKit

Before diving into the setup process, ensure that your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) supports VST plugins. If you haven't already done so, download and install MT PowerDrumkit from its official website.

Once installed, locate the plugin in your Plugin Manager or Effects Rack within your chosen DAW. Double-click on 'MT power drumkit 2' to load it into a new track.

### Step 2: Default MIDI Mapping

Upon loading the plugin, you'll notice that MT PowerDrumKit comes with pre-configured default MIDI mapping settings. While these may suffice for basic use cases, they often require fine-tuning to suit individual workflow preferences and hardware configurations.

To access and modify the MIDI mapping settings:

1. Within your DAW's Main Window or Transport Bar, navigate to 'Edit' > 'MIDI Learn/Map'.

2. Alternatively, press Ctrl + Shift + M (Windows) or Command + Option + M (Mac OS X).

### Step 3: Customizing MIDI Mapping for MT PowerDrumKit

In the resulting MIDI Map window:

1. Locate and expand the 'MT Power Drum Kit' section.

2. Double-click on any drum pad to assign a new MIDI note/CC value.

For more advanced users, you can also create custom mappings using Lua scripting within certain DAWs (such as Ableton Live).

### Step 4: Assigning Custom Mapping Presets

To save your newly created mapping for future sessions:

1. Within the 'MIDI Map' window, click on the small pencil icon at the top-right corner.

2. Give a descriptive name to your custom preset and press 'OK'.

By following these simple steps, you'll be well-equipped to optimize MT PowerDrumKit 2's performance within your chosen DAW environment.
