Platinum and X3E Step Seq Am I the only one seeing this(still not working reliably)

 
Steps to replicate....
New Project
insert audio track
insert MIDI track
assign Addicitive drums (or Session Drummer) as my soft synth
(optional)Assign a drum map to the MIDI track
View Step seq.....all is well
enter a couple of events
Close Step Seq
Reopen Step Seq
No Events in step seq???
 
Is this a bug?
 
 
TIA

I've got the same problem.  would love to know what you found.

looks like even though it's a step sequencer clip, the small icon in the top right of the clip is set to prv by default.  double-clicking the clip opens step sequencer, but looks like sonar thinks it's a prv clip.  so, click the icon on the top right and select step sequencer as the default editor... then, if you double click the clip step sequencer will open and those notes will be there.

Ok, more info.  I found if I changed the tracks output to the different drum map that only had note names, that the notes showed now in the matrix.  So something about my custom superior drummer drum map that I created is causing this.  In creating the map, I started with the original superior drummer 2 map that gets installed when you install SD2. Then I changed a few names, moved some locations around and deleted a few rows and renames the map to a different name.  I then created a virgin SS clip with that new drum map. After doing that, I see the issue where the notes aren't shown in the matrix, but still seen in the clip/track view.  So something about my custom drum map has screwed up seeing the notes in the matrix view once I reopen the clip. HTH

Good point.. Ok, I will stay off this thread.  Can you explain in the other thread I opened why I cannot use drum maps with X2a?  thanks again.

In X2a you cannot use Drum Maps with the Step Sequencer. Probably not a good idea to mix X2a issues in an X3 thread.

edit - wtf???
okay - yeah, so i have been just forgot the trick since i've not been using ss in sonar for the last several months...
on the midi track, assign a drum map.  for this project i was using battery 3 and the wicked kit.  
( i usually keep step sequencer open when i'm working on it, so this is one of those swiss cheese brain moments).
edit a new ss clip. close ss. expand take lanes for the midi track.  
(this works better if you have ss undocked)
double click the ss clip. it opens ss with no data.  double click the same clip again and you have data mapped on the right drum map.  
so they do work, it's just one of those annoying things like snap settings in prv not following global till you turn snap off then on again.  
 
and here i thought i was going nuts...

@swamptooth - I replied to the other post for this same issue - please check it out:
 
Read from this post on down to the end, where I included additional text:

Now THAT would be interesting.
 
I had posted several times in the past on this subject, and the Cakewalk folks never came in and corrected anything.
 
I just heeded what they told me and stopped using drum maps with SS.  For me it wasn't any big deal anyways, as I just printed a cheat sheet I made in Word that listed the kit pieces and the note names and numbers, for each custom kit I set up, and that works just fine for me.
 
I WILL attempt to see if perhaps the earlier information I had been given was incorrect, and if so, I will immediately go back to using drum maps and will start recommending folks use them in future posts.

Confirmed on my end.  The Step Sequencer is opening a new Step Sequencer instead of the existing one. The sequence is still there, but you must open it within the Step Sequencer from the top right of the clip. I look into this further.  This only seems to happen with Drum Maps.

Andrew, Dan is there any updates for this?

I was hoping this would have been addressed in the X3c patch but I still have this issue.  Is this something that will be fixed?

X3D is out next week, and no you don't get privileged information until then. So please delay your complaints...

LOL... I already nabbed the Christmas Geist deal... no more "step sequencer" complaints...

Same here,.
