Thanks dude -- Your suggestion made me dig a little deeper. Setting the MIDI Track to SI-Drums had the same result; I did however figure out a whole bunch of new things having to try and do this thanks for that! If use the Cakewalk TTS one it seems to work great, so I'm not sure what is the difference with SI-Drum Kit (perhaps I'm hearing a problem where there is none). Also thank you very much for being the only person going to the trouble of making a suggestion -- that is appreciated more than anything!!
