DR 008 and X1/X2

Back when i used to sue DR 008 drum synth i could go into piano roll and use its view to plot notes. since going to 64bit/X1  i can't use that anymore and i have been using Session drummer 3 in step sequencer view. Is there a way to get Session drummer 3 to use the piano roll view?
 
also back when using DR 008 in piano roll view i could select a drum fill from a drop down and roll it across the piano view and it would insert the drum fill.
Is there any way to do either of those with session drummer?
 
Thanks
 

Hi Enlikil,

Yes, you can use Session Drummer 3 with the Piano Roll view (PRV). Choose Insert > Soft Synth > Session Drummer. In the dialog box, put check marks next to the following options:
* MIDI Source
* First Synth Audio Output (or All Synth Audio Outputs if you want multiple outputs)
* Synth Property Page.

Click OK. When the Session Drummer window opens, load a new program or kit.

Make the MIDI track active and open the PRV. You should see drum names to the left and you can input notes in the Notes pane.

Regarding premade fills, etc. No the Paintbrush tool was removed in X1 and hasn't been added back in X2.

Thanks for all the responses, I will try them when I finish installing X2 on my new windows 8....

Keni, I used to use it just to lay down drums when I did not have a drummer. It worked pretty good. I  can work the step sequencer but I do prefer piano view. ( at least right now)

Garrigus, I will try your suggestions.

cjaysmusic, I thought they quit supporting the DR008. I will have to check.

Thanks again
