Rikki, I would have to take a look at your setup to know exactly what is going on with your drums. Could be that in Bank 0 you are seeing certain standalone drum instruments in the upper program numbers? If it is this could be ok. You can check this in your GM wavetable mapping. So you still could be ok. The drums your styles will be looking for are the ones in Bank 127 - XG Drums.

Rikki, take another look at some my comments of today. There may things that trigger an approach that my solve your problems. Using Soundfaction Alive in your laptop should not be a problem. I don't know why the wavetable size increased. You might try the optimizing feature in Alive to minimize the number of times the same wave is saved. I think there is a feature that if all your drumkits use the same Hi-hats that it will only save the wave file once - but you have to tell the software to do that. It might be called cleanup under the file tab.

Also you may have to run LiveSynth Pro with forte and call up Alive from it. I think Alive needs some sound source for monitoring the sounds. This is not need when you have a compatible soundcard, e.g., Audigy.

In addition, you can change the velocity of the various drum instruments using Alive. You can use M. Bedesem's StyleUpdater to change the velocity levels between the various instruments within a style.

Rikki something should work!!!
