Good question. I'm glad you raised this, because this is something that needs to be improved. There is currently a sly work-around, hidden in the 1A5 release notes dating back almost a full year ago. I thought this made it into the documentation but it looks like it never did:
- In the near future when the drum kit file format is improved it will be possible to specify exactly which drum sounds should take precedence over others. For now, drum sounds will take precedence over one another during these two hard-coded conditions: a) the drums in question are hi-hats (where the drum type name is "hi hat"), or b) the drums are of the same type and one is muted (where the drum variant name contains the word "muted"). If you are using only the supplied drum kits, and not creating your own, this information is not pertinent to you.
So, what you can do today is still the same -- if you have a "red crash (foo)" followed by a "red crash (muted)", the latter will supersede the former. I'll add this to the gotta-fix list however. A proper checkbox in the kit editor would be in order. -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
