Session Drummer 3 Tracks

Session Drummer 3:

1.  When I insert SD3 and choose to add all stereo audio outputs, I get the 12 tracks.  I don't completely understand, however.  (a) The mixer shows fewer drums than are available via MIDI; for example, the Mixer shows three toms but most kits have 5, and there are many drums playable on the MIDI track that do not show in the mixer.  (b) I cannot figure out how to change the track/mixer assignment; for example, putting all 5 toms on a single stereo track panned appropriately.

2.  I see the 12 tracks, but when I solo one, I either hear nothing, or else I hear all the drums I play via a MIDI keyboard.  I am quite confused exactly how this track assignment works and not sure why Solo is not working.  I have tried soloing just the audio track assigned to the drum, soloing just the MIDI track, and soloing both.

3.  I bought an extra set of drum kits from Cakewalk.  The installation did not say what they were called.  When I click PROG > and choose Load Program, I see a folder called Digital Sound Factory Acoustic Kits which I believe are the new kits (but maybe not).  I do not see them when I click on the Program name and get the normal Sonar browser.  No big deal--just wondering if that's normal or if I should be doing something else to complete the installation.

Thanks!

    Hey, thanks.  Should have been obvious, I guess...but I am still a bit overwhelmed learning X1, Vienna, Kontakt, EastWest, and Ivory all at once (although Ivory is a no brainer unless you want to do something exotic).

    #1 and #3 are resolved.  Still not sure what's going on with the solo behavior, but no big deal.
