Layering drums...

if you duplicate the midi event you can do what you like.
There's a velocity midi device that might be useful for you.
I'm assuming you mean velocity and not volume- volume is easy to adjust using the inline mixer or the relevant setting on the device/rack interface.
Effects can be added to each signal path. Its a question of figuring out where the chain starts and finishes. Look for rounded brackets.

Hi Oddstep what I'm trying to establish is whether it is better to duplicate a midi track for the second snare and kick...or to use the drum racks method and trigger all the drum sounds on one single midi note. DO you ot agree that it would be more efficient to do the latter, as you can group as mna y drum sound together as you like on one midi note and still have full control over all the variables/settings and can even add effects to each individual drum sound?

So for instance if I have a snare that needs beefing up I..

1. Apple drag the a new snare on top of the old one which makes the cell/pad Multi mode (both sounds at the same time/midi note.)

2. Then I navigate to the simpler/sampler that contains that sample and tweek to sound right, maybe even hot swapping the sample from within the simpler/sampler to audition other hits while playing the sequence, retaining the simpler/sampler settings.

Now that's what I wanted to hear

"Apple drag "

It's a language I have developed to describe the Apple lifestyle.

Hello Hayz!

What technique did you eventually settle with?

I'm a big fan of that second one. But can you add different audio effects to each sample in a drum rack group though?
