Can Drum Replacer work with MIDI notes?

[Gary Lehmann]

I use Sonar for backgrounds when I play gigs, most of my sequences are strictly MIDI.

Can I replace the MIDI drum info using Drum Replacer?

I don't know the answer to that, but:

What is the goal?

If you're using MIDI to drive drums, you could simply point hte midi track(s) to a different drum synth, or use a different kit in the drum synth you're already using, if you simply want different drums than you already have.

If you want a different sound to the drums you are already using, you can setup different bussing or effects on the synth's audio tracks, etc.

This is what you want to do. MIDI has no audio (is simply note data), so there is nothing for drum replacer to process. In essence, drum replacer allows you to fine tune the audio you want to replace, converts them to MIDI hits, and replaces (or blends) that audio with another sound set (and a limited selection to choose from). Since you already have the MIDI, just point it to another drum virtual instrument (VSTi) of your choice and select/edit the kit pieces as needed.
