I dont know what addictive drums is. I have a yamaha rx5 that has 16 pads. I want to write beats using PRV and not have to click each note to see what sound it makes. Tok many notes.

The drum map manager is a nightmare to figure out. Cant find a ready made drum map file for yamaha rx5 and creating one from scratch looks like torture. And even if i entered every single hit, it is specific to a midi channel? So if i change to channel 10 for my rx5 instead of channel 1, then the map wont work?

Wish i could just right click and relabel the keys in PRV.

I bought sonar but im ready to abandon ship.

I hear you.. i bought the cheap version of sonar x3 im not sure if it has those sounds or features.

i have other drum machines too and use a sampler and not interested in realistic sounds, necessarily. I like the individual outs for each sound going from rx5 or the roland machines into the big mixer, stuff like that. Im a hardware weirdo :) rx5 has some cool voice vs pitch features and i like the sounds it makes for regular drums, even if they are old style.

So to made an ad-hoc label set on a PRV key would be extremely helpful.

I found a tutorial video i will see if it helps any, ill report back.

Also, i have used cakewalk for probably 20 years and always used staff view, sick of the interface and need to get PRV to work for me or its off to fruity loops.
