Or PDC deactivated. Check if yours is active in the control bar.

You know, I tried the offset thing in Superior 2 and was able to get the layered kick attack more focused but what I found interesting was there are still times when the hits are still off.  It must be due to either differences in some samples based as the velocity changes, or due to the humanize function shifting the samples at times.
 
Maybe in te future I better try filtering off the top end click in one of the kick layers to avoid hearing any mis-alignments.   Snare hit alignement is more tolerant because of the top end smearing attributed to the snares.

Apologies for intruding in the tread, but I'm impressed with this APDC thing. Could anybody tell me when it was first successfully introduced ? Did it work for DX/DXi type of plugs ?

Not sure, but I think PDC was introduced in 2003 with SONAR 4. It may have been earlier than that.
 
And yes, it works with DX as well as external inserts, although the latter didn't get ironed out properly until SONAR 8.5, IIRC.

Wow. That's 15 years for fine tuning. Good to know :) Thank you.
