Laoding a Single Drum into Session Drummer

When I originally load a program, there is a sidestick on C#, a snare on D, and a different snare on E.  If I right-click on the snare in the picture of the drum kit and choose to load a different snare, whatever snare sound I pick will be on all three keys: no second snare sound and more importantly, no sidestick.  How is this supposed to work?

Unfortunately, you can only load one instrument per pad (see the pads on the Mixer screen of SD3). The reason you get more sounds available when you load a program is because that setup was done by programming the SFZ file. You can do this yourself as well, you just need to read up on how to create/edit SFZ files. See this page on the Cakewalk site:

Thanks for replying.  I think the SD3 interface is seriously lacking:  there should be pads for the sounds so there is some way to load them.  Similarly, there are only 3 tom pads but most kits have 5 toms defined.

The sidestick thing is particularly annoying.  Sidestick is not a special case: it is a basic sound in a kit.

Thanks.  The demo of Superior Drummer is impressive.
