Drum map note audition problem Never to be solved

  If I am working on a drum track using a drum map and I select say, quantize and audition the effect before committing, I see midi data on the meter but no sound. The track plays fine otherwise. I remember having this problem in 5. Am I missing something? I just don't understand why it won't play.

Anybody tried this with drum maps?

Thank you for the reply. This used to happen before I used session drummer.(Battery1 sonar 4&5) I don't think it is the audio engine but I will check. If I take the drum map off/on audition works/doesn't work with it. (unless it turns itself off/on every time I'll check) As I have said, I feel like it is a output routing issue with drum map maybe. As you know, you can select what audition previews through and somehow drum maps stop the flow but I cannot figure out what to change. I looked into this years ago and gave up using process/undo as a workaround. I really like using drum maps so I can have tracks where I want with them labeled & in the order like I want and not worry about durations etc., but this is really a bummer!

Thanks Karl. I am trying to audition in "piano roll view" with a drum map (Where the notes look like a point kinda like the state of Iowa)I don't know if that is what you mean by row within drum map manager or not.I don't have the drum map manager open, just piano roll view. I wonder if it is a bug.Like I said this has been (not) doing this since producer 5 for sure. I think it is strange no one else has complained! I mean it is pretty common to simply be using a drum map and edit in piano roll(drums) then want to audition quantitize or something before committing. It drives me nuts this should just work! Let me ask when you work on soft synth drums do you use drum maps or other? I want to be able to reach more than one kit using one track if necessary and have them show up in the order I want labeled like I want no durations. I thought drum maps were the way to go but people must be using some other method because surely they would have been stonewalled by this problem also. Drum maps are easy for the drummer to see and understand when editing!

This might be related to the fact that when you set the output of a synth to a drum map, you lose the ability to Mute/Solo either the Midi track OR the Audio track and the other associated track does not get Muted or Soloed with it.

Inserting a Drum Map seems to break the connection.

This has been going on since at least 8.5

This is what I received from Cake Tech: "This is happening because you have the output of this track set to a drum map. If you set it to your Microsoft Wavetable Synth or another synthesizer then you will be able to hear the preview within the quantize view." I knew that already but it seems you can't audition with a drum map. BUMMER. Everytime you want to audition an effect you have to switch to piano roll view (pain). That Sux. Talk about the hard way to do something easy.

Audio engine definitely running. I am only lassoing notes (select) and then process effect/quantitize/ audition button = nada Take the drum map off and works fine. I am not clicking on the drum name just selecting notes. Why would you hit shift+spacebar?

Oh sorry I don't have all my shortcuts memorized yet! Have you tried this just hitting the audition button? According to cake tech (posted above you can't audition when in a drum map. You have to take it off and rout the output to the synth. GRRR.

Just tried the audition from the quantize dialogue and no it doesn't work with soft synths in a drum map. Seems there's several inconsistencies there.

If you make a selection of notes in the PRV or a clip in the TV you can press Shift+space to audition them, that works with a drum map okay.

In the drum map manager the same key press is supposed to audition the current row, that works with hardware drums but not soft synths.
