sonar 2, drum maps, soundfonts!!!!!!

Hi. I'll try to be brief...doubtful

I have created a drum map where the kit is mapped out to 4 individual audio tracks running different samples thru liveSynthPro. When I initially set it up and save as a template file all is well but when I create a new file using said template the output ports to the LSPro are mixed up. More like rearranged I guess. Instead of the kik going out to LSP 1 it's out to LSP 2 and so on. So nothing sounds and I have to reset the outports. Can anyone help? I did save the drummap in the DMManager. It's an awesome time saving feature for me if it will work.
thanks
scott.

ps; the reason for 4 audio outs is that I run them out of different channels thru a motu 2408.

ps2; yeah. It's switching outports 1 to 2 and 3 to 4. I tried moving samples around to accomidate for this and when I did it still swapped outports in the drummap and nothing was right. Very odd. Very odd indeed.

wierd.
It seems to work, well kind of. I took the file set up with the drum map and loaded sf2's and saved it as a template. When I create a new file based off the template the map isn't working but when I nose down 2 levels to the DrMapManager and select my map from the presets, bango, everything works. A tiny drag that I have to assign the map each time but it still saved me a lot of time in the end.

If anyone knows where I'm going wrong I'd be happy to know.

...Well, I dunno what to say, I never do your way of work, But I just couldn't see a thread without reply. I do pay attention to this thread, but sorry, I couldn't tell much...

Well, just for fun I did what you did, created a DrumMap with more than one Livesynth, and you know what?

My outputs are rearranged aswell!

It didn't happen if I used DR-008 with more outputs (but that's still one DXi, not many). I tried to use Dreamstation and Sonar would still mix up the outputs. BUT if I used one Livesynth and one Dreamstation it stayed the way it should.

It seems that Sonar can't use DrumMaps that routes to different instances of the same synth... sorry.
