Double check the out port in the drum map in the Drum Map Manager. This column may not be pointing where you expect. To change all out ports at the same time, position the cursor on the top output port (or where ever the port change needs to start in the map), while holding CTRL and SHIFT scroll down to the last output port (or where ever the port change needs to stop in the map) then click on the output port drop down and select a new assignment.

Well, everything is assigned to the first SD ouput. (Stereo 1/2)

Is this by design or do you want to use multiple audio outputs in SONAR?
 
I nuked the dupe post BTW.

It's by design for now. I usually use a pre-made drumkit while tracking, then when I'm done, I will go back and customize the kit.
 
I'll check out the output thing a little later when I get back to my first track in Sonar.

Ahah! I figured it out. It's not the DAW doing this. Each time, I was trying to solo my Superior Drummer track. It turns it it's Superior Drummer doing this. Hopefully I don't run into this with other VSTs. I just need to figure out why SD is doing this....
 
EDIT: It's because I'm using a drum map. When I switch the output to "Superior Drummer 1", solo works fine. Now I just need to find out how to deal with this when I want to solo. Off to the manuals I go!

This is a long standing issue with using drum maps and although there are workarounds, they are all fairly convoluted

Can you give me the simplest workaround you know of? Even if it is convoluted, I need to do this because there's just too many notes in SD2 to try and use just an unlabeled PRV.
 
Scook, I just checked the output in the Drum Map Manager and they all lead to the first output in SD2.

I know there are issues using mute/solo in the Drum Grid Pane but don't recall problems with the Solo button on tracks.

The drum map does not control the output of SD2. The drum map takes incoming MIDI data and sends it out to synth inputs. The synth controls where the output goes. If you are trying to use the M/S buttons in the Drum Grid Pane, you are better off using the mixer in SD2 if you are routing everything to a single stereo pair. I was under the impression you were using the solo button on an audio track.

I am using the solo button on the audio track. I've the first SD2 output routed to an audio track, and I have the MIDI source track to go along with it. When I press 'solo' on the audio track, everything in the project is going silent, including the soloed track. The solo track on every other VSTi output (Halion Sonic, KONTAKT, etc) works fine. It's just Superior Drummer 2 that's having this issue.
 
Now, am I doing this right? I'm setting the output of the midi track in the console view to the Metal Foundry drum map I was sent. That is the correct way to use the drum map, right?

Okay, I finally found another thread from another user that's experiencing the same thing, but with Addictive Drums.
 

 
I just used the suggestion in there of putting everything drum associated into it's own folder and solo'ing that. It's not ideal, but it works well. :) Thanks for all the help, guys. I actually learned a lot from this. Thanks again!
 
 

I think I know what is going on. Because there is a drum map, you need to solo both the audio and MIDI tracks associated with Superior Drummer. Drum maps break the automatic mute/solo link between audio and MIDI tracks. You may want to group them by right clicking on the solo buttons and assign them to a group. A folder will work but if you intend on use the console, grouping may work better for you.
