Hi yeah, ive seen 2 utube clips, one showing how to do it in session drummer, and one showing how to seperate out in addictive drums 2, after setting up as simple instrumnt track..........So please tell me the process.....i know how to get multiple mono or stereo tracks midi softsynth addictive drums.......just how do i assign each one to its drum piece?

interested in this as well - thanks for posting

actually i figured this half out, if you go into input source on your track veiw, click addictive drums you have a list of all the bits to assign, however i hve no signal or sound.......so i still need help
 

I don't use the simple tracks, but here's how I do it.

Route the MIDI track(s) to the synth.
In AD, select each output to go to it's own destination (Separate Out, Pre- or Post-Fader, as you prefer) (https://www.xlnaudio.com/support/topics/separate-outputs-an-overview).
 
Create a corresponding Audio track in Sonar for each AD Output (Kick, Snare, HiHat, Tom 1, Tom 2....).
Set the input from the first audio track to Addictive Drums/Kick, the 2nd audio track input to Addictive Drums/ Snare, the 3rd audio track input to Addictive Drums/ HiHat, and so forth.
 
When you're done, you can put them all in a Track Folder for neatness.  
 
I think that's what you're asking for.  Make sense?

Right so im already doing most of this, when i used a simple instrument track,and seperated it out etc.....i was unable to edit it after recording in addictive drums.........so i guess that has something to do with doing it as midi instead of simple instrument track........but yeah....im keen to hear more feedback on this post of other ways of doing it

No i just tried it again, seperating the tracks out via addictive drums, it only records it as audio.there is no option to choose addictive drums in the midi tracks done this way........and yeah because its recorded as audio thats why i cant go back and edit in addictive drums

So again i tried it another way, i went create softsynth/ addictive drum2/ chose midi and stereo softsyths outputs/ i opened addictive drums/ seperated everything post fader/ went into inputs and assigned each track to there drum piece............Yes everythings on its own track/ press record/ records ok.....however on playback.......it nolonger registers in addictive drums, because it recorded as audio not midi..........HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So further to this, as a simple instrument track if i drag a loop from addictive drums onto the track, and play it back, yes it plays back through addictive drums and i can edit it, change drum pieces whatever......yet if i press play and record it records nothing...........Somebody/anybody please help me out here........and the reason im doing this also is because im planning on using addictive drums with my yamaha dtx700 electric drums

So I'm not totally sure what you're trying to do. You talk of dragging a loop from AD2 onto a track and playing it. Which is a midi track triggering AD2.
 
Then you say "yet if I press play and record it, records nothing." So if you press record (pressing play isn't ever going to record anything) I'm not sure what you're trying to record. Are you trying to record the output of the AD2 loop you're playing to an audio track?
 
Later on you say you're trying to record your yamaha DTX700 electric drums.. I'm confused, but I'll take a shot that what you're really trying to do is record your electronic drums. And I'll guess that you're trying to record midi from your electronic kit and have that trigger AD2 sounds.
 
If that's the case, you need to connect the midi out of your DTX to the midi in of your recording interface. Then in Sonar create a midi track. On the midi track, select the input to be the DTX and arm that track for recording. 
 
Hit record and play your drums. You should record midi on your track from your DTX. Now insert your AD2 soft synth, but don't select simple track, I just select "synth track folder" "first synth audio output" "synth property page" and that's pretty much it.
 
Now on your midi track where you recorded your kit, set the output to go to the Addictive Drums synth. There are some midi maps for yam gear but I don't see the DTX, maybe it's a yam generic or something. You may have to move notes around in your midi track for them to trigger the correct kit piece. In AD2, you can hit the ? and go to "map window" to see the midi notes corresponding to the kit pieces. Make sure you're midi notes are assigned correctly and you should be good. 
 
Hit play and  your midi should play your AD2 kit.

Thanx, sorry to confuse things, my main issue is after i record drums using addictive drums onto individual tracks, it no longer registers in addictive drums kit veiw, so i cant go back and change kit pieces after ive recorded.Why?...................as for my dtx, im cool ive already got it working as atrigger no probs, the issue i do have is, i fail to be able to use the sounds off the dtx700 module with sonar,thats what im having issues with, and also i cant seem to translate the midi note numbers so that the choke function works when im using it as a trigger. Apparently according to the dtx manual, you are ment to send the signal from the dtx into sonar THROUGH sonar (i cant find the through setting), out into the dtx module, which buzzes the module sound and bounces it back onto a seperate track in sonar........Thats also what i am trying to acheive, i have no problem with using it as a trigger
