You will need the 32bit VST for PG You can also download the MIDI Mapping - Presets to send to any other Drum Kit. Go to the Bottom of this page: http://www.powerdrumkit.com/download.htm
You can make the whole track up in the VSTi then drag into Realband, if it needs to be changed just Delete the track in RB and drag n drop again. You can't drop one section in at a time as RB panics if it is midi type 0
32bit Windows copy asiodxfd.dll file to C:\Windows\System32 goto C:\Windows\System32 click on cmd.exe at prompt right click paste RegSvr32 asiodxfd.dll Enter
64bit Windows copy asiodxfd.dll file to C:\Windows\SysWOW64 goto C:\Windows\SysWOW64 right click on cmd.exe run as admin at prompt right click paste RegSvr32 asiodxfd.dll Enter
In your Audio Preferences > Audio Driver Type MME, ASIO choose ASIO > Drivers > ASIO DirectX In the ASIO Drivers Control Panel choose you Inputs n Outputs.
Edit: You can also use it as a standalone, just get VSTHost 64 or 32 File > New Plugin and set the Tempo up the top to same as RB. You can then download the 64 bit MT Power Drums if you are on 64 bit machine.
RB panics when you drop another type 0 midi in the same track (until PG fix it) so the midi files just need to be converted from type 0 to type 1. The easiest way to do this on the fly is with Sweet Midi Converter just set it to output to Type 1 and set an output folder, list folder details by Date so the latest one will go to the top. Drag the midi from VSTHost Standalone to Sweet Midi Converter, click convert, click new, set RB to Snap to Beat, drag file from output folder into RB with the track set to MT Power Drums VSTi. This should work with others like MusicLab RealGuitar.
You can use this also NAudio_MIDI_File_Converter.zip it's free, it will convert the the folder you drag the grooves to to another destination folder that you can drag into RB but you will then have to move the finished files out as it will only convert to an empty folder. It will also convert EZD 1 Library to midi type 1 so it will work with drag n drop in RB.
Also if you are using Cubase8 you can set MacBB to Output to Chords, then save to midi, then open it in Cubase and send the chords from the BB Chord Output track to your chord track. Set Ticks before chord change to 0
Thanks SR for this post. I downloaded it and install it into BB and seems to work fine using mme which is what I use all the time. A shame that there is only one kit but hey, for a free vst it has very good sounds and quite a bit of control and mix console.

EDIT: almost working since I posted this.. I had a real track in use, not a midi track.. now, just no audio..
Being this is an old thread, does this VST still work? I have downloaded it, got it to work with stand alone VSTHost, but, I can't get it to work in BIAB or Real Band 2016. I can drag and drop to RB, but, the mapping is wrong. It maps to a piano.. not sure how to change the mapping either.. (new to midi for me)
In BIAB, I followed the VST install video in the support area here, but, when I do as it says, all it does is go back to the default drop down list in the menu, (where you would install new VST's)..and it never shows up in the list.. (it doesn't crash)
how can I get this to work? I have the 64 bit working as a stand alone, and also have the 32 bit. It doesn't want to load in BIAB as a 32 bit and RB crashes when I try load it there.. (I don't have jbridge, but, if as a last resort I can get it.) Since it is just drums, I am thinking 32 bit should suffice, audio quality wise..
As a last resort, using it as a stand alone is fine with me, but, how to remap it to drums??
any suggestions would help.. and greatly appreciated..
Got that some time back - just tried in real band 2016 works good - you can make up the bars at the bottom and drag them in with real band set to snap. If you want to use 64bit plugins http://www.pgmusic.com/jbridge.htm
Ok, I got it to work.. But, after getting frustrated, I went ahead and bought a BOSS drum machine.. Will be using that instead.. thanks, at least I know it can work..
