Does Easy Drummer 2 Provide Midi Conversion?

[rams7519]

I am using Easy Drummer 2 with my Simmons SD 1200 kit. The problem I am having is the kit’s half hi-hat sends a D5 midi note and Easy Drummer 2 actually fires off the ride cymbal on all of EZ drummer’s mapping pre-sets. I have read other posts where it looks like other kits provide the ability to change midi mapping inside their modules but I don’t think my kit does that, or at least I can’t find anywhere to do that using the module. I have tried contacting Simmons but the people that answer there are clueless about this. Anyway, my solution was to spend 30 dollars on a mac app called MidiFire which allows me to change that D5 midi note to any value I want and it all works great. However it would be nice if I didn’t have to run that app all the time. If anyone knows if I can do this just using EZ Drummer stand-alone please let me know. Do you have to buy Superior Drummer to be able to do this midi mapping conversion stuff?

EZdrummer version: 2.1.8
Operating system: macOS Catalina (10.15)

Hi,

EZdrummer 2 does not have the ability to transform notes outside of the factory presets, nor can you edit or create new mapping presets like in Superior Drummer 3.

I’m having the exact same problem.

I was a bit disappointed to find that EZDrummer triggers the ride (and sometimes a floor tom) when the hat is played, and that there’s no built in mapping for Simmons.  I don’t have a Mac but I’ll look for something comparable to MidiFire since that’s really the only viable solution I’ve found so far.
