Changing a note in the "Note Map Pane"

Hi G-

Do I have to, (first) create a drum map to do this/see the drum map pane.

The Note Map pane displays the current drum map assigned to the output of the MIDI track. You don't have to create one from scratch since there are several included with SONAR, one of which is probably very close to what you need already.

If I dont have to create a drum map then

What I was trying to say was you don't have to "create" a drum map, but you do have to "assign" one in the output of the MIDI track in order to see that Note Map Pane you referred to in the PRV. I'm not at my DAW right now, but SONAR ships with several, including GM drum maps, which should map pretty closely to most, um, GM drum kits. What are you using for drums?

Once you assign a drum map to that MIDI track's Output you'll see drum names in the Note Map pane and you should be back on track with what's in the manual re changing a note's output. Does that help at all? I can go into more detail later if no one else jumps in.

Oh, and thanks for the commendation! I've learned a tremendous amount here over the years, and I'm very happy when I can give back some!

Edit: It occurs to me that when you drop-down the Output list, it says something that might be throwing you off. I think it says "New Drum Map" or "Drum Map Manager", something like that (or both). If you don't already have a Drum Map in the project, go the the Drum Map Manager, and you'll be able to load an existing one. This is from memory, so it might be off a bit, but the point is to get to that Drum Map dialog so you can load one into the project/track.
