Problem getting ezdrummer 3 to return to GM midi keyboard layout

[Walter Aycock Jr]

I am new to Easy Drummer. I’ve had Easy Drummer 2 for a year or two, but never used it because it was compressed and unrealistic.  I’m used to using Addictive Drums.  I just tried upgrading to Easy Drummer 3 based on great reviews and was very pleased with the new sound library.  The drums and no longer compressed and sound great, unless i choose a preset that deliberately adds compression.

when I first tried Easy Drummer 3, it defaulted to the standard GM midi keyboard layout… i.e., F sharp, G sharp, and A sharp for the open closed hi hat

which was started by Roland with their MT 32 synth and Roland soundcards. Now when I open Easy Drummer the mapping is all different.  I went to the midi mapping page and only saw dozens of individual keys mapped to drums.  Where is the box I can click on and choose GM midi mapping?

I tried to email tech support, but the form wouldn’t let me send it.  I hate getting tech support through a forum. I shouldn’t have to search through thousands of questions and replys to find this.  Can Tech support fix the contact tech support form?

EZdrummer version: 3.0.3
Operating system: Windows 10

maybe you’ll find what you’re looking for in
Section 947 E-drum Settings from the EZDrummer3 manual:
https://www.toontrack.com/manual/ezdrummer-3/9/9-4-the-settings-menu/9-4-7-e-drums-settings

that also provides a link to this Toontrack-created video:

Hi,

apart from checking the manual, to bring up the ‘Edit Mapping in E-drums/MIDI In’ page, you can:

– right-click any instrument and select ‘Edit Mapping in E-drums/MIDI In’

– click the small menu right next to the ‘MIDI’ label in the lower right corner

– go to the Settings menu and then ‘E-drums/MIDI In’

When this page is open, you see the MIDI Preset selected in the top center of the page. ‘Toontrack Standard’ is GM compatible.

BR,
John
