hello,
 
i am trying to get some sound out of addictive drums 2.
 
i inserted the synth with a couple of AD2 tracks routed to master left and right.
 
i have dragged a couple of BEAT patterns into the workspace, but i can't get nuttin'.
 
i'm sure this is asked over and over, and i have looked everywhere -  but alas,
 
my only choice is to annoy the group and ask here.
 
help!
 

Enable input echo monitoring on all the tracks - the little button to the right of the record button should be blue..

i wish.
 
man, i am SURE i am missing something really simple here.
still nothing.
 
i get the preview in the AD2 window. but when i drag a pattern to the AD2 track, i can see the midi events, but still no sound.
 
do i need to do some mapping?

Do you get any sound when you open the Addictive drums GUI and click on a kit piece? (I have assumed you have actually loaded a kit)

When you say you "inserted the synth:, was this as a simple instrument?
 

Regarding the mapping, not sure exactly what you mean but I don't think so. You just have to choose Addictive Drums as the output for the midi track that has the data that you want to play. Click on output and there's a drop-down menu that'll show your MIDI devices, including your virtual synths. Choose Addictive Drums and make sure the Addictive Drums audio is routed to your master channel

i tried that, still no sound.
 
but i can still hear the sample set in the AD2 window.
 

It looks like your input is set incorrectly.  Try choosing none (or omni).

Omni is the selected input:
 

 

i tried setting up per some X3 instructions i found...
 
still all quiet.
 
i know it's me.
 

 

Hi. From the latest picture it looks like you have your MID track is routed to another instance of AD2. Could that be the case? Do you have several AD2's inserted in your project? I am writing on an iPad, so I might not see the picture clearly enough.
All the best.
