Assigning Roland TD-12 Drums to EZDrummer 3 kits?

[kschwartz42]

I’m triggering EZDrummer3 with a Roland TD-12.  I’m having the same trouble with all kits in my setup, but here’s the current example.  In EZD3, The Bright Room, Big Rock setting is a one rack tom two floor tom kit.  I’ve selected the Roland-TD-12 preset in EZD3.  However, both Tom 1 and Tom 2 in the TD-12 are triggering Rack Tom 2 in EZD3, and the Tom 3 in the TD-12 triggers Floor Tom 1 in EZD3.  I can’t figure out how to get Tom 2 in the TD-12 to trigger Floor Tom 1 in EZD3 and Tom 3 in TD-12 to trigger Floor Tom 2 in EZD3.

I think I’m generally having trouble figuring out how to control what triggers coming from the TD-12 are assigned to which instruments (drum, cymbal, cowbell, etc.) in EZ3.  I don’t play out and I don’t record; I’m playing e-drums because I have neighbors and a dog that runs away from loud noises, so I’m not savvy with electronics.  Does anyone know how to help?  Thanks for any help you can offer!

EZdrummer version: 3.0.0
Operating system: macOS Big Sur (11)

Hi,

I wonder if your TD-12 module is set to Factory Default when it comes to the note mapping? Or it is the substitution scheme kicking in.
Anyways, right-clicking any of the drums and clicking ‘Edit mapping…’ takes you to the ‘E-drums/MIDI In’ page.
Selecting e.g. the Floor Tom 1 in EZD3 and then click the ‘Learn…’ button followed by hitting your preferred tom should learn the note for the Center articulation. Repeat for Rimshot and the other Toms. When you’re done, you can save your Project and/or save your own MIDI Preset.

BR,
John
