Update: I got home started the daw, expecting to spend some time trying to diagnose a 64 bit despondent session drummer and gosh it just worked. So that's cool.
I had intended then to make presets for each session drummer instance in each mixed song to take over to the 64 bit side but my trusty 32 bit system now won't load any projects without the dreaded reset button crash so I gave up again as I've had enough of computer puzzles for one day.
Maybe tomorrow.
