How to SAVE settings?

[Timothy McKevlin]

In SETTINGS>EDRUMS, I can choose the correct Midi Mapping and the preferred Pedal Correction Curve. But, how can these settings be saved? Is there a way to keep the program from automatically re-setting everything to the default (NONE, NONE)? I’m sure it’s there; I’m just new at this. Thank you.

Hi,

 

if you set your MIDI mapping and pedal correction curve, then first save this as a Project, then go to the Menu and ‘Set as Default Project’.

 

BR,

Perfect, thanks very much, John.

I cannot get setting to save as default.  set drum kit and pedal,saved as project, then saved as default. exit, come back and its back to midi mappings = none.  so aggravating.

maybe I overwrote the default?  what folder should it be in and what is exact name of file?

Saving as Default Preset doesn’t seem to save the e-drums, as you say.

This is a workaround:

1. Set up EZdrummer 2 the way you want to have it, including the MIDI In e-drum preset.
2. Save an EZdrummer 2 project (Menu/Save as…)
3. Find the folder where the Default Project is saved
   1. You can go the Presets menu, and in the bottom in User Presets, select Manage in Finder/Explorer
   2. The DefaultProject file is one folder above that
4. Take the EZdrummer 2 project file you saved in step 2, rename it to DefaultProject and replace the file in step 3.2

By doing this, you manually save a Default Project, that will be loaded each time you start a new session of EZdrummer 2.

 

I will write it up as a bug, that the MIDI IN preset isn’t currently being saved with Default Presets.

Still cannot get this to save as default. I took 3 copies and put in each folder.  The project should be called “defaultproject.ezdp” correct?

Not exactly, it should be called DefaultProject (no file ending).

It’s easiest if you first save a Default Project using the Menu in EZdrummer 2. Then you’ll see where the file is placed, and what it’s called! Then replace that, following the steps I wrote above.

This doesn’t work for me at all. When starting EZ Drummer (Standalone), the Midi-Mapping always goes back to “None”, Hi-Hat Pedal Correction “None”. I have to set it again to “Roland” and “Close” every time I start EZD2

This is extremely annoying! How hard can it be to fix this bug, actually?

This workaround works for me. Thank you!

But how come the bug hasn’t been fixed yet?
