Hi MarioD and Bob,

MarioD: Thanks for the AD tip. I will definitely set the AD default button so that AD opens in the GM mode. I noticed when I use REAPER DAW I don't have to set AD to GM mode.

Bob: MIDI can be a mess. I think that some companies have different midi mapping so that third party drum midi patterns can't be used with their players. There are midi mapping converters that can reassign the keys. some work well others don't.

Bob how do you like JAMSTIK?

Thanks again for all of your input:)
