Subject: How to display correct Drum Names in Piano Roll for BFD3 / GGD in Logic Pro 12?

Hi everyone,

I am struggling with a seemingly basic issue in Logic Pro 12, and I’m feeling quite desperate.

My goal is to use BFD3 or GGD (Invasion/OKW) on a MIDI track and have the correct drum instrument names (e.g., Kick, Snare, Hi-Hat) displayed directly on the keys in the Piano Roll editor.

I want this setup to be "once for all"—meaning that whenever I load my BFD3 or GGD presets, the names in the Piano Roll stay correctly aligned with the General MIDI map from Guitar Pro 7.5.

I have tried using "Mapped Instruments" in the Environment window, but I cannot get the names to show up in the Piano Roll, and the routing feels extremely convoluted.

Why is this so difficult in Logic? Is there a modern, step-by-step way to achieve this?

Any help or a clear video recommendation would be life-saving. Thank you!
