Drag/drop the MIDI patterns to the pattern grid. To trigger the patterns use MIDI notes 8,9,10 and 11. MIDI note 7 stops the pattern.

The other way is copy the MIDI files into  "C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Studio Instruments\SI-Drum Kit\Patterns" or a folder under it and rename the "C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Studio Instruments\SI-Drum Kit\Pattern\patterns.lst"
 
The next time SI Drums starts it will create a new patterns.lst with the new MIDI files.

Thank you very much for your answer. I copied the MIDI files to the folder "C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Studio Instruments\SI-Drum Kit\Patterns" and did not work. And the strange thing is that I can't find the file "patterns.lst". I don't notice where the default patterns are stored...

For the version of Studio Instruments NOT included with Sonar, the location is
C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Studio Instruments\SI_Patterns\Drums

I have a patterns.lst in the folder in the patterns folder. The file is rebuilt automatically by SI-Drums when it is not found. This is how SI-Drums knows what patterns are in the folder. I thought it was always this way. I have the Studio Instruments package installed with SONAR Platinum. There may be older versions with a different layout.
 
 
Edit: confirmed, there are at least two directory layouts for Studio Instruments

Steve - it appears the directory structure is different between the SI package purchased stand-alone and the version bundled with Sonar.
 
The other difference I'm aware of is the lack of stand-alones in the bundled version.

That makes sense. Like I said, I have the plug-ins by way of SONAR. I suspect the differences explain the name change from Studio Instruments to the SI series. Now that you mention it, I remember the question about the missing stand alone versions. IIRC, the stand alone synths that SONAR ships are based on Minihost from Tobybear. Tobybear is no more. Here is a similar product SAVIHost. I prefer to use VSTHost from the same source when I work outside of the DAW or need to test a plug-in in a different host.

C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Studio Instruments\SI_Patterns\Drums

This is the old Studio Instruments path, the SONAR path is in msg #3.
 
 
edit: corrected to confirm multiple file layouts.

I've had both versions installed.  I have both paths after uninstalling the unbundled version.
 
I'll do some testing and report back

Re: Add midi patterns SI-Drum Kit 1 2015/08/16 10:56:19 (permalink)
I apologize, I used search first and didn't see patterns.lst in the locations you posted.  Here is what I have.  First, the location you specified, which on closer examination appears to be the correct place.  Ignore the directory SI_Patterns.  By date, this appears to be leftover from the unbundled version of Studio Instruments:

 
The SI_Patterns directory exists only as a remnant of the unbundled Studio Instruments version.
 
Sorry for the confusion.  I'll edit my posts above ...

So this is the old Studio Instruments path? I only have the version bundled with SONAR and this path does not exist in my installation.




Yes, that is the OLD path.  My quoted statement should read 'NOT included'

To the OP - which version of Studio Instruments are you using?  Was your version bundled with Sonar 2015, or was it purchased & installed separately?

Fixed my previous posts based on your info. At this point, I would suggest searching "C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Studio Instruments" for patterns.lst. It should be pretty easy to figure out which patterns.ist is used by Drums and rename it. I usually rename patterns.lst files in case I need to restore the original.

I use the version of SI included in Sonar X3 build 211. I do not find any file ".lst" in any folder... I can not find in any folder, a single MIDI file included in the menu: for example "ROCK\2TON-A"; it must be hidden... Mystery! Thanks for your time!
