Ocean Way Drums Multichannel in Kontakt 5...no sound... [SOLVED...by workaround]

Never mind...I tried the same setup in Reaper as described in my above post, and it worked just fine...so I'll just use Reaper for this project.

Hey, thanks for the help, there, Alex! I myself will not lower myself to your level of personal insults.

You get a lot of that on this forum.

Sorry but for me it's the equivalent of getting into a car, crashing it into a lamppost, and then blaming the car. I have no issues with people having issues, I do have issues with people blaming the car especially when the people who actually develop the software read these forums. Thankyou for clarification.

Yes and to be honest I should have PM'd you. I am never the diplomat, apologies. Nothing ever is meant to be personal, I just can't help myself.
BTW no I don't work for Cake, but I know what it is like to be a developer (defenceless).

Hi B.R.
I do that kind of routing with K5 drum kits all the time, both in Sonar and in Reaper (and PT, and Cubase and....). If you can give some details or screenshots I'll try and help out. I haven't tried Ocean Way drums, but I've certainly done it with all the Komplete 9 Ultimate kits as well as Purrrfect drums.

This thread is not allowing me to submit this message with screen shots. I will submit the text below now and attempt to make another reply with the screenshots.
 
In first shot, I assign the kick to the first of the new stereo pair outputs I made for each kit piece. I made them stereo because for a brief moment I was able to get sound when I had the kick and snare assigned to "unassigned" mono tracks each, but they were both hard panned left and right, respectively, regardless of how I had the pan pots set in either Sonar or on the kit piece in Ocean Way.
 
In the second shot, you can see how the kick is getting a signal in the Ocean Way window, and the MIDI track in Sonar is getting a signal, but no signal is showing up in the individual Sonar tracks.
 
The third shot shows how I re-assigned each kit piece to the new stereo pair tracks in Ocean Way. For some reason, when I reassign "Kt. unassigned 1 and 2" instead of the original "Kt. St. 1(1) and Kt. St. 2(2)" to the kick, the "plugin outputs" are automatically re-named from 1/2 to 11/12. On the snare, its outputs are renamed from 3/4 to 13/14, and so on.
 
Back to the first shot, if I try assigning each piece to the group of the "original" outputs at the top of the list that are named by kit piece, I do get sound of the whole kit, but the signals for some of the kit pieces are all mixed up, particularly on the cymbals and toms. For example, I can hear the floor tom, and the master channel shows a signal for it, but no signal shows up in the Floor tom channel in Sonar! That makes it useless for me to assign FX in its FX bin, needless to say. That's the whole reason for using multichannel kits...lol! No matter what logical (or even semi-logical) output channel I try assigning the floor tom to in Sonar, no signal shows up in its output meter when the floor tom is played. The signal shows up in the Snare output meter instead!
 
It's really hard to explain the problem I'm having, even with these screen shots, so I understand if there's not enough info here to go by. I'm just burned out on trying to figure this out in Sonar and will just use Reaper for now, if no solution is apparent. Thanks for looking, anyway. :-)
