Hello all !
 
I just bought Superior Drummer 3 but until now i always used Addictive Drums then Addictive Drums 2.
That means ALL my projects drums midi tracks are set for Addictive Drums mapping... I am a bit lost...
 
Have someone figured out a quick and easy way to map Addictive Drums midi tracks into Superior Drummer 3 ?
 
Thanks in advance for your help !

Thanks James.
Lots of infos on your link, if i understood well i need to buy something called " EZPlayer Pro " which will translate my AD2 midi tracks to SD3 midi tracks ?

Actually there is many more options in that thread you can do without having to buy EZPlayer Pro.
 
For example, you can edit them in PRV, or use free application like midifilemapper
 
https://github.com/markheath/midifilemapper/releases
 
The latest release includes few templates for converting EZD to AD, etc but not AD2 to SD3. However, you can create yourself some maps easily (just learn the XML structure in notepad, you'll get the idea how the application works).
Once you create your customized template for AD2 to SD3, you can use it as you like. The application will import MIDI file and export as MIDI file after conversion, means you have to first export your drum track on your AD2 Sonar projects as MIDI file, then import back after conversion.
 
Hope it helps.

You could also try the transpose MFX in custom mode. Once you have set up a map, just add it to the Midi FX bin for your drum track. You could leave your drum file as is and turn on this FX when using Superior Drummer, and off with AD2. If you want the tracks converted, apply the MIDI FX

Wow that's cool, Cakewalk FX Transpose. Who woulda thunk?  
Thanks for that.

I don't understand the issue. Why can't you just use built-in drum-maps?
