This question is for the older guys.  Way back in early versions of Sonar there was a"Session Drummer".  It was different than what we have now.  Anyway a company called Drumtrax provided expansion content packs for use with this Session Drummer.  I still have those on my computer and they sound pretty good.  I was wondering if they can be drug into Sonar X1 and used now.  When I click on one of the MIDI loops then properties it tells me that the type of file is MIDI Sequence.  I can hear them using Windows Media Player.  How might I get them to work in X1?  What program should I use to play/hear them?  Any suggestions?
Thanks,

You might need to convert them, but to WHAT I am not sure...just a shot in the dark, but I am sure someone else will chime in with an answer...

i know exactly what your refering too,i also had pro audio 9 with the original session drummer(no drum kit gui)  :)

how are you dragging the midi clips in to sonar?
have you tried using the browser to navigate to these midi clips ?
and in windows when you right click on these fils what does properties tell you about these midi clips?

i was under the impression these were typical midi clips.

IIRC, you can import them into SONAR. SD would parse the files into smaller loops so that you could construct a drum track. In order to use the data now, you will need to manually chop the files up into loops.

After further investigation, I find that I can insert the SI Drum Kit and then drag and drop the MIDI file from Drumtrax into Sonar from the Browser.  The MIDI track is a series of drum patterns/loops.  I can them cut, copy, paste to my desire.  At least this works.  Anyone have other ideas?  What other programs inside of Sonar will play drum MIDI loops?
Thanks,

Could not get it to work using Session Drummer in X1.

TTS-1, Session Drummer 3 and SI-Drum Kit all play GM drums. DimPro has drum patches but I am not sure if they are GM.

Thanks for the information Scook.  I will try all the programs you mentioned.  I did finally get things working with Session Drummer.

I see Drumtrax still has a web page. You might see if they will let you have the regular GM loops for the SD package you bought. It could save you a lot of time.
