Help Assigning a drum map.

this is the grail of drum map lessons I use/or give to anyone inquiring about issues in drum mapping.
enjoy my friend :)

Glenn, this one threw me at first.
Unlike previous versions, X1 does not simply replace the PRV keys with your drum map. The map is an additional screen in the PRV.
See step 4D in Charlies link. You need to drag the keyboard view down to reveal the drum map.
Just grab the top, drag it down, and you should see your GM map in all its glory.

ha.. your not the only one that's happen to, I responded to a post a month or so ago about someone doing the same thing in that book.

the book is awesome, anyone you talk to will say the same.
its just a funny coincidence that person too was working from the book and did the same thing.

the link I posted is just (to me anyway) a real easy way to understand it.

glad its sorted.

Thanks, Charlie! I appreciate it.

I agree with Bristol,
never encountered such issues, and  on times I have had 3-4 separate drum VSTi all with multi outputs, the map assigning Is all based on midi. But the whole area here with drum mapping and then your audio out/sub routing can be awkward to understand if a newbie to this area of sonar, it does take  a little getting used too. It only takes one oversight and sonar can be really unforgiving when troubleshooting if you are new to that part of sonar, In the case of mapping drums and multi audio outputs more so, so I recommend too follow all instruction from the start again, as suppose to trying to figure out where you went wrong, it took me many days weeks etc going over stuff from the start to understand it all together/make it routine, and thus understand where I went wrong whilst setting up, Where I cant say you don't have some weird bug, more than likely its  a silly little oversight, hence in that drum map Pdf I made sure it stated some really obvious things that here easy to overlook and is all the difference in the outcome or what you think you cant see, but will be their, or maybe just say reselecting the correct drum map again in your console midi output dropdown selection box, sonar does have  a few little annoying quirks, and again the other one being your drum map may be out of view and you may still need to drag the midi piano roll down to reveal it as has been mentioned again by Robert B.
Regarding Audio/sub outputs You can also just drop in your multi vsti, but only select first synth audio output as suppose to all' but you can still go on to add in more synth audio outputs later, you just have to understand the process and that  each work in harmony together :drum maps for the midi data & synth audio outputs/subs, but you still need to treat these as two separate areas when setting up or trouble shooting, Its more often than not one silly little oversight, we have all made when learning.

Installing a synth made sense to me because otherwise, where would the sound come from once you had a drum map?

PS Scott, The Sonar X1 Power book is excellent. It's extremely dogeared from constant references.

Thanks, Glenn! That's awesome. It's always great to hear that the books are helping people with their music.


Re sound: you could also use a MIDI track with an external MIDI synth and use a Drum Map for that.
