Is it possible to cue beats that I am previewing in Addictive Drums 2?

Is it possible to cue beats that I am previewing in Addictive Drums 2?  As I preview the various beats using AD2, when I click on a subsequent beat or fill, it cuts off the currently playing pattern and starts from the first note.  This makes it impossible to hear how one variation fits in with the next.  Is there anyway to cue the beats so the currently playing measure finishes before the subsequent one starts? I know AD2 is not a "Drum Machine" or "Beatbox", but the compositional utility of hearing the transitions in context is lost. I've searched XLN's site and youtube as well as here to no avail.

    An option might be nice but I for one wouldn't want to have to wait for the clip to finish before auditioning the next.
    If I hear a couple that might work together (ie to see how a beat will flow into a fill or vice versa) I just drag them both on the timeline and delete it if I don't like it.
    If it's close but not quite what I want then I'll sometimes tweak in PRV to suit my taste.
    That said, I agree the option would be nice but of course that would be a XLN feature not Sonar.
     
    EDIT: you might want to email XLN support directly and ask them...I've found them to be pretty friendly and responsive.

    Thanks for your reply.  I usually input to AD with a controller and just recently started exploring the beats since I got those free ADpacks.   I'll ask XLN support;  I would have posted to their forum had they not shut it down;)
