Working on a song using Style _CMPFMF3.
That style does not come with any drums so I thought I'd just add a couple myself and see how it sounds.

But after adding drums and hitting play, no drum sound is coming out.

The name of the drum style shows up and the R/D are enabled and "Override" is checked.

I'm lost.

PS: There is an error in the Style memo.

It reads:
"This style features ... a strummed guitar with an electric bass.

No, not true. The bass that comes with the style is # 592 Acoustic Bluegrass Ev 100.

Maybe this is it:
You can not assign a midi instrument ( drums in this case ) to a style which has no midi on the drum track to begin with. This can be done however by using the new feature which allows you to bring in a midi track from another style - Right Click and "Select Custom Midi Style for this track".

And regarding the error, don't know?

Why do you verbally slap another person who is trying to help you out?

There really is no call for the level of Snark here.

I thought you been using the program long enough by now that you know that Realdrums substition from the default Realdrums settings window won't automatically invoke on a style that does not contain either MIDI drums or Realtrack drums on the Drums track.

Ya, what Mac said.

Other than that - can you now hear your RealDrums and was this the solution to your problem?

fb,
That's an issue that happens on a few styles that have no RealDrums, and also no MIDI data at all in any instrument in the style. In this case, as you saw, you can't add a RealDrums to the style. It will be fixed in the next patch.


Have Fun!

Yes, I noticed this exactly. Didn't think this was something needed fixing as the fix was already available as I descibed above. But anything that makes life easier is a good thing.

UPDATE

Uh, this has gotten a little stranger.

Some Drum R/Ts do work. Some don't.

I can hear Bossa Nova and Rock ones and I can hear some Country ones but other country drums I can't.

Can PGM please fix, thanks.
