Help! Problematic Multi Sample situation with Drum Racks

Post by benja_music » Thu May 21, 2020 3:58 am

So I purchased some samples from Samples from Mars. Let's say there's four types of 909 kits - clean, colored, distorted, and crunched.
Each kit is a drum rack made of up devices with macro controls that can alter the sound of the clap, kick, hi hat etc.
I want to create a new drum rack with just the clap devices of these four kits.

The problem I'm getting is that when I'm dragging multiple devices to a fresh new drum rack - it places all these devices under the same pad (and thus making it a "multi"). When adding several devices (sometimes up to 10-20), this makes all 20 of the devices activated only by one pad as opposed to distributed across several pads (as is the case when you drag a handful of samples onto the drum rack).

How do I drag the devices so that they distribute across multiple pads? If that's not possible, is there a way to distribute the "receive" note in batches for devices that are currently activated by one pad? Meaning, all these devices are activated by F1 (and looking at the F1 pad I see the word "multi") - is there a way to distribute all those that have a "receive" of F1 so that they are spread to F1, F0#, F0 etc. :?: :?: :idea:
