Assistance with XLN AD2 Snare hits.

Hello Everyone,
 
While in AD2 I have noticed that I am not hearing the snare sound in most of my ADpaks. 
Lets say from the Gallery Tab I select the ADPAK Studio Prog Kit and from the right side of the kit, I select "Lets Sway".
I should immediately hear a snare in that ADpak, but it is not there.
I can select all of my ADpaks and the sane drum parts are missing.
As i scroll through my MIDIpaks I can't find a Snare hit available.
 
When in the Transform section of AD 2 and I solo the Kick Drum and then look down at the transport section, the kick drum midi pattern is the only pattern in view and it is moving as each kick pattern is played.  The same thinks happens when I solo the Hi hat, the Toms and the Ride.  However, When I solo the snare drum, the midi pattern stops moving as no sound is heard from the snare drum.   I can choose any ADpak and any Midipak and the same thin will happens, no snare sound is available.

 
I have opened the XLN installer and uninstalled the Entire Addictive Drums 2 and all of the ADpacks and MDIpacks from my computer and then re-install them back again. The problem is still the same as the Snare drums can't be heard.
 
I have written XLN and they are investigating. 
 
Any Ideas?

I've had a similar problem with AD trying to use an older drum MIDI file I sequenced on Roland JV 1080 years ago that used a PC (program change) to force the JV into a standard GM (general MIDI) drum map format. The PC was stored in SONAR which changed AD's key mapping to GM, which doesn't correspond to AD's standard 'kit piece' key assignment mapping.
 
 If that's the case, you can manually switch "Key Map" settings back.
Click on the "?" in the top right and "Map Window" will be the first listed in the dropdown menu.
 On the left top of the Map Window click on "Map Preset" and choose AD Standard mapping is selected for use with standard AD MIDI packs.
 Things could get very strange to stranger still if any other maps gets accidently selected.
 
Good Luck!

abacab,
 
I have no problems with the Snare pieces as part of a Kit as I can hear the snare drum when I click on it, however, when the snare is played as part of an entire drum kit, the snare is not triggered by the midi patterns from the MIDIpaks.
 
In AD2 on the Beats tab, If you look down at the transport section you will see the small right arrows that represent the Drum pieces.   From bottom up is the Kick, Snare, Hi-hat and so on. Well in that area non of my Snare hits are being triggered.
 
If I then click the transform tab and solo the Kick in that location only the Kick is heard.  When I try to do it for the snare, no snare is heard.
 
See the photo below to see where the snare is muted but the midi notes below is not moving when play is pressed to trigger the snare beats.
 

The area above the words "Not Moving" should be moving from right to left to trigger the snare hits when play is pressed. This moves for all other soled drum pieces except for the snare.

I just tried that exact preset and heard the snare (actually a doubled snare (second one in a Flexi slot)) no problem. The only difference I notice is that your sidestick Variants are grayed out and mine weren't.

Only somewhat related, AD2 Packs are on sale right now at 50% off (making them $45/kit).  I went ahead and picked up 3 more bringing my total to 7 kits.

If I were brand new to looking at a Drum VSTi, I think I could easily persuade myself to buy their Complete Edition for $700 which has all of everything they offer - 21 kits; 32 MIDI Paks; and 14 add'l kit (percussive) pieces.

I have not even begun to get serious at trying to use AD2 as I've been a long time getting out of a slump (years!) to record my compositions, but the past couple weeks I'm getting the fire back.  I have to do some reading and figuring out how to use AD2, so I plan to read the PDF manual my next late night trip to Denny's with my laptop.  Probably tomorrow night.

Is the snare muted in AD2 Transform section, when you drag it out?
 
 
Additionally, if you solo the snare in the Transform section and drag it out, do any notes appear?
