scook linked this thread to me as I was fumbling to find drum maps. THANK YOU for this Subjacent!!

Thank you very much for your hard work, and in turn sharing with us all.

Thank you for template & map.
These should be included as part of the X3c patch when it comes out.

I'm grateful, subjacent. Thanks for giving us everything!
 
Tips were new to me too. I'd never done inline PRV editing before today.

Your welcome everyone.
 
However I have discovered I will have to update the Drum map and sequencer starting pattern their are a few hits missing and I am guessing these maybe on another midi channel, these hits show up in the map window in addictive drums but where not present when I play the keys on the current midi channel so they where easy to miss, I will have to look into this although these look like they are only hit variations to what you do have setup in the drum maps etc I setup, so it should not overly affect anything outright, will look into this over the next couple of days.

First off, THANK YOU, Subjacent, for putting this together. Incredibly kind of you, and it's been quite helpful to me as I learn to use X3 with Addictive Drums. Just a couple questions, though, and please pardon any "newbie-ness" to any of these. I am fairly new to midi in general and am trying hard to learn quickly.
 
I downloaded your files and noticed that in your track template, Addictive Drums comes up with the "All Synth Audio Outputs to Stereo" apparently having been selected, where the kick/snare are grouped, etc. On the AD page, when they explain how to add AD with multiple outs, they say, "Make sure 'All Synth Outputs to Mono' is checked." Doing that seems to put each kit piece on its own track, albeit mono. I'm just curious why you did it the way you did it and if/why that's a preference to have pieces grouped on a stereo track. Does having kit pieces grouped on a stereo track mean that I don't have individual control over each piece? Just a little confused over that and would like to understand it a little better.
 
Secondly (and lastly), in experimenting, I added AD the way their site explained it (with the mono outs). I then tried to add your drum map to the track, but when I did that, there was suddenly no sound. I'm totally sure this is the result of some ignorance on my part related to drum maps and how to use them, but I was wondering if you or someone could explain what was happening there.
 
Thanks again for your help!
 
 
 
 

I linked to this thread as well.  This exactly the type of thing this forum needs more of.  Thanks again.

Thanks! I will use this.

You are indeed wright, it is better to have all hits on their own output channel, now you point that out i will look into it, the way it is setup is how sonar interpreted the outputs not myself, so i presumed this was show they had intended as strange as it seemed, but if it gives the option for mono as you say then best to set it up that way, been a little ill over the last week or two, but will look into this as well as another issue i have noticed sometime before weekend, and add this amended template/map.
 

Thanks for the clarification, Subjacent. Was just curious about the different methods. Yeah, the AD site says to select the "All outputs as mono" selection from the soft synth dialog box that appears when you're adding AD. Thanks, though, for all the work. This post in particular really helped me understand a lot. Hope you feel better!
