Make an example of what you want Live to do in that (named) situation and drag it in there

What the hell?

Or I suppose more accurately: Returns.

drum racks are SOOO well done!! large variety of mute groups, EZ to layer drums, break them out, nice visual rep of what's filled in and the rackable potential of them is stunning.
totally agree with that. Right-clicking any instrument also gives you the context menu option "group to drum rack" for starting a percussion "group" if you will. Very handy way to collect all your little synth bits into one midi-clip and track.

sweet!! as usual you're ahead of the class.

so, with operators set into a drum rack each one only responds to a single note, is there a way to change that? IOW they all play at once or only respond separately. with a regular rack I'd use a chain selector, maybe it's the same here, dunno, soooo much to check out.

well, in a drum rack you can easily layer stuff - it's basically a one-note rack PER note all stacked neatly in one unit. loads of options right there.

ahhhh... layering sounds is a nice feature. I can't even imagine how the covops will do with this instrument.

I like the way if you hover over a cell, in the status bar it tells you what the corresponding General MIDI drum sound is for that midi note - nice touch there! There seems to be a bit of a general improvement in how much information you get out of everything...

With drum racks, is it posible to gate? like for open/close hats?

"Each chain can be assigned to one of sixteen choke groups. Any chains that are in the same choke group will automatically cut off the others when triggered."

It also says you can have six returns & you can specify the input and output note of each cell, but I can't figure out that part?
