Thanks again everyone.
Tho I do now have a way to make it work thru the softsynth install, I will look into the original problem seeing as so many feel it should work. (I'm X1d BTW).
Installing a synth made sense to me because otherwise, where would the sound come from once you had a drum map?

PS Scott, The Sonar X1 Power book is excellent. It's extremely dogeared from constant references.

Thanks, Glenn! That's awesome. It's always great to hear that the books are helping people with their music.


Re sound: you could also use a MIDI track with an external MIDI synth and use a Drum Map for that.

Good point, I'll have to try my drum machine and my GR20 synths to see if I can get their sounds.
