Session drummer and step seq.

When I click step Sequencer from session drummer to view the new drum track in step sequencer mode. My notes are not mapping to session drummer and there is not sound when I click the note names in the step seq. But if I click the drum pad in session drummer, it sounds. Please help

Thanks will try when I get home.

Also, use the plus keys to add more notes. 

I'm not sure I'm quite following your question. Perhaps you could rephrase it but I'll take a crack at it anyway. Right click on the left pane of the Step Sequencer where the kit pieces are listed. In the dropdown click Insert Kit Piece. Keep doing that until all the kit pieces you want to use are listed. You can also remove unwanted kit pieces in that menu as well. To map the kit pieces to your pad controller there are multiple ways. If it is ACT ready you can just press the ACT button at the top right of the Session Drummer GUI and it should map automatically. If it isn't ACT ready you should read the section on ACT functions and mapping MIDI devices in the tutorials section. You can also use the controller itself to map the notes to Sonar using the onboard controls and/or editor librarian software. What controller are you using?

Thank you guys, Im having the worst time with this drum map thing (this is the first and only issue Ive had with X1 so far...)

I will try my controllers octave buttons when I get home, dont think its that tho, cause when I added more rows it was just more note names (no kit piec names from SD3). @Fog
ps(@Fog): "you should get a page up asking what outputs you want etc.. if not, you probably need to re-enable the option page..
if you go into Step, it'll show the drum names"

Thats what my issue is, (I will re-enable the opt page). But when I open Step seq (from SD3 pane) none of the names are mapped; its just note names there. and I cant change the names either (right clkn in the name field does nothing).

@beepster: Thank you so much for being detailed, but I got that far. My controller is linked and works. (sometimes sonar loses it, but if I turn the controller off and back on it links up again, so no worries)
Its SD3 talking to the step seq,er that Im having the issues with.
 
pps: Is the step seq'r auto load and populate names when you open it from within any of the standard synths with sonar (i.e: dim pro, rap. , SD3....)  

 

hmm... actually rereading that it sounds like that is what you are doing. My apologies. If that is how you are doing it I don't know what the problem could be. It works for me. Good luck.
