These days I use Sonar as my main host, and even though I like FL's piano roll better overall, the Drum Maps feature in Sonar is indispensable since I use Superior Drummer with various SDX's and EZX's in about 90% of my songs. I just always had a printout of Toontrack's extended GM mapping handy, and eventually had memorized most of the commonly used drums. So anyway, I wouldn't look for this to change anytime soon. I once asked about this in the Toontrack forums, and predictably their response was that every major host provides a way to customize the note names. And if you changed anything in Battery, you had to open and close the piano roll before the cahnges would show up (or sometimes you even had to close and reopen the projects) And in practice it was a little funky anyway, as what got published was the root note assignment, but since Battery allows you to adjust the key range independently of that, sometimes the note names in the piano roll didn't even correspond to the note that a key actually triggered. The functionality disappeared in Battery 2. The only VST I ever encountered that actually did this was NI Battery 1. As you observed, the native FL plugins that have custom note names all work that way.


At least 4 years ago when I asked about this on Looptalk (because of DFH Superior, btw), Gol responded that the VST standard provides a method for plugins to publish the note names to the host, and FL can then read them and customize the names accordingly, therefore it was up to the plugin developer to program that functionality. Nope, there is no way to customize the note names in the piano roll.
