How do I reinstall Session Drummer 3?


Recommended Posts

I have a number of legacy (32 bit) projects that were built using the old Session Drummer 3 (SD3). 

  • Trying to use that MIDI data with Addictive Drums 2 (AD2) is yielding poor results.
  • Trying to use SD3 doesn't work because it claims to not be installed correctly.

It would appear that the SD3 content is actually there, because there's a SessionDrummer.dll file dated 09/12/2013 in my 32 bit VST(i) path...

C:\Music\Plugins\VSTi\32\Cakewalk\Session Drummer 3

...as well as a Contents sub folder with Kits, Patterns and Programs.

What's odd is that I also still have Session Drummer 2 from previous versions...and it works without issues.

I guess this comes down to 2 different questions...

  • What was the last Sonar release that included Session Drummer 3?
    (And/or how do you get it reinstalled)
  • How do you make drum mapping work to make SD3 MIDI content work with AD2?

Thanks for your help.

Sonar 8.5 thru SPlat.  New Sonar includes an SD3 installer that should be useable in older Sonars.
