How to best Audition Midi Drum Sequences BEFORE importing / dragging them into a Project

I have recently started using BFD for drums.
BFD has a great feature that lets you audition "BFD formatted drum grooves" in the GUI before you drag them into a Project's track.  You do this on the BFD GUI's  Groove page.

I have loaded up BFD with lots of drum sequences from Groove Monkee

But here is my question ........

How can I audition Standard MIDI drum sequences without having to drag them into the project's track first ?
I have tons of standard MIDI from Supreme Drummer and other sources.

You can't audition a non-BFD2 formatted "drum groove"  (ie ..... Standard MIDI Sequence)  inside the BFD interface.

And when you are using IMPORT inside Sonar, to Import a Midi track, you have the option to PLAY the Midi Sequence, but it plays using Windows Media Player so you get a generic MIDI audition played an not a real true audition of what it will sound like thru your selected Drum Syth  (in this case BFD).

So far when working with any generic MIDI Drum sequences it has been a painful procedure of dragging a file into the track, if it is not what I want, delete it and try another , etc..etc..etc

There must be a better way

Thanks

Bristol,

It sounds like X1 has the feature I am trying to attain.

Yes, if I drag the standard MIDI into a track inside a SONAR project I can listen to it, but that is what I am trying to avoid since that is not really "auditioning" it before you commit it to a track.

This is more like blindly selecting a MIDI sequence, importing it into your project, listen, if you don't want it, delete it, drag another in, etc...etc..etc...

With a true audition, you could easily scroll thru the library of MIDI sequences and hear (preview/audition) them before you actually import/drag them into SONAR

It sounds as you say, like X1 is capable of doing this.

I have been holding off X1 for awhile waiting for all the dust to settle and Cakewalk to get all these problems out of the way that seem to have plagued this newest version.

Thanks
