    There may be a better way, but the only workaround I’ve discovered is to play the hits on my snare (TD-17) and then re-assign them to the appropriate rimshot key in my MIDI editor within my DAW after I’ve recorded it.

    Hello and many thanks for your answer Barticus B

    I agree, there is certainly many ways to solve the problem. I have to try these solutions and find the better one (settings in EZDrummer 2 or/and settings in TD-12 module).

    Your solution is to re-assign hits to the appropriate rimshot key in your MIDI editor. By “my MIDI editor”, i understand that you don’t use directly the software EZDrummer 2 but you use a soft like Cubase or EnergyXT for example (?).

    I prefer, at first, try all solutions with EZDrummer 2 : re-assign hits in EZDrummer 2 (this way is not obvious at this time : the Operation Manual seems to short)

    Thanks again and may Music be with you !O!

    Hi Pierre-André,

    are you using the Roland MIDI Preset in the EZdrummer 2 Standalone?

    Is your TD-12 at Factory Preset note assignments?

    Hi John, Thank you for your answer.

    1. Actually, I found the correct mapping in EZdrummer 2 Standalone (Menu – Settings – Edrums – MIDI Mapping)

    By choosing “ROLAND” in the list (in my case), everything became correct (all the pads create the good sound in EZdrummer 2 Standalone)

    2. Now, my next jobs are to adust velocity, new pads/cymbal… in my ROLAND MODULE

    But, if needed, is there any way to directly adjust assignments in EZdrummer 2 Stand Alone ?

    I noticed that in the software, there was for each element of virtual drum the button “Details” opening a menu showing the “Articulations” (in “Key” or “Note“).

    Seeing this information, for me, there must be a specific mapping ” for (in ?) Ezdrummer 2 Stand Alone” (?)

    a: Where can I find the mapping “grid” if it exists ?
    b: If this is not the purpose of these “Key” and “Note” values, what are they for ?

    I am well aware that i’m using EZdrummer 2 Stand Alone as a “drummer” and not a “song creator” (for now … lol).

    EZdrummer can do so many things (and very very well (ok… Good User… lol) ) that it seems interesting to me, a drummer, if it’s possible to be able to intervene on these “Articulations” using a mapping grid to assign easily elements of the electronic drum to an element of the virtual drum EZdrummer.

    By (good) examples (I think) :

    In EZ Drummer, the rim shot of Racktom 1 is identified in the “Articulations” under the key “A # 4”. Okay…
    Now, I wish that when I hit the rim shot of Racktom 1 of my electronic drum, it triggers either the sound of rim shot “A # 4” but the sound of rim shot “G # 4”.
    I think if there was a “little editor” of “Key” it would become childish to make these changes

    This would also be very convenient and easy if you add an extra pad to my electronic drum (on the Aux ports in the module). Well … I hit this new pad and I get the sound corresponding to “X # Y” in EZdrummer. But I want the sound corresponding to the EZdrummer rim shot “G # 4”. In this case, (hop) I use the “little editor of Key” and I modify, for this extra pad, the first obtained value “X # Y” in wished value “G # 4” … and here is the easy work …

    Ouch … I was very very long … all my apologies for that and if:
    – I “opened an open door”: it already exists in EZdrummer Stand Alone (please read the documentation… lazy boy  !! … lol)
    OR
    – This has already been treated in the forum “page 2,123 of the specific section “your answer here” of 01/04/2012″ … lol (again) …

    Thanks a lot  !O!

    BR
