Noob soundfont question

Hey, I have a SB Live! 24-bit sound card and I'm using Cakewalk Pro Audio 9. I'm trying to get into soundfonts, but for some reason, most of the time I attach a drum bank it won't show up in the list of soundbanks available. It doesn't seem like it changes anything when I switch to channel 10, or mess around with various track settings. Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks

You mean in the track properties view? (where you set the MIDI channel, soundbank and patch?)

If so, not all drum patches will show up, some of them will just automatically activate if you simply route the soundbank to that midi track and set it to channel 10. If you're still having problems, just open the soundfont in Vienna Soundfont Studio and change it so it's not a GM drum soundfont, then just load it onto any channel you want (except 10) and it should work fine.
