I wonder that Sonar Pro/Platinum comes with XLN Audio's Addictive Drums 2 and I can't find a suitable Drum Map for this in the presets?
I find most of competitors like BFD or Superior Drummer in the drum map preset list, but no Addictive Drums ?
 
Do I miss something on installment of Sonar and AD2?

I don't use AD2 (BFD only here), but does this help you ? (Download link under the 2nd image), I remember when I first tried AD/AD2, I think I downloaded it from somewhere. hth

 Someone posted this the other day but I could not find the post so whoever it was deserves the credit for it, not me. But I did download it and I am using it.

Cakewalk has a special relationship with XLN AD2.  Why can't Cakewalk just add the drum map for us.  We should not have to go through the rather complicated task of manually adding it.  They have drum maps listed for just about every other drum program.

The other day I was using AD2 for a project and I loaded a GM map to AD2 then I loaded a GM drum map in the drum map manager. This worked nicely. 
 
The ides is the have the PRV agree with how the drums are mapped in the drum synth. With BFD 3 its automated. 

Thanks for the tip, John!

I downloaded an AD drum map a while back and, while all the note data looked fine, the output port was for another instrument. There is probably an easy way to change that but I couldn't figure it out and ended up changing the output port for each note individually. I don't know if the file I ended up with is any better, or different, than the one I started with but if anyone wants to check it out, it can be found at

ctrl + shift click on port changes them all.

That's good to know, thanks.
