thanks for the assistance and question here.
My intention was to twofold
1. learn about RealDrum configuration

* I think that I understand this now and how BIAB works with the A&B Drum array of Bars to generate tracks
* Along the way I learned that the download templates are out of date and reported here.

2. Create a stripped down RealDrum. Something quite basic, even as simple as the metronome but with a softened Real kick drum. Not Midi.
It might sound like POOf, poof, Poof, poof

* I can see how to do this now using RealBand as an Audio Editor and the Txt file to describe the array of Bars. I haven't done it though, yet.

(I will be posting another topic to ask about the Txt file to Pattern editor connection. I think it is best to have distinct thread for topics)
