Copy part of one kit to another kit

[Demious]

Im building a new kit, but I want to use the cymbal set from a kit I already have. There’s  a menu for each saved kit, with a ‘select part’ option to load it onto another kit, but I cant find how to use it.

When Im on the kit I want to move the cymbal set to and I go to the preset list that has the preset with the cymbals I want, the kit changes to the a default kit and I can load my cymbal set on the default kit, but not on the kit I want them on.

How do I load a part of a saved kit onto the kit Im working on?

Cheers!

First you select the cymbals you want to change. You do this in the main window displaying the drums ,or in the instrument menu, by SHIFT- or CTRL-clicking.

Then you go to the preset and its Select Parts menu. There you choose “Only Selected Instruments”.
(You probably also uncheck “Load Mixer” and “Load Macro Controls”.)

Then you press Load Parts.

(Actually, you can make or change your drum selection while you have the Select Parts menu open.)

That is exactly what Ive been trying to do, but what happens is that the Cymbals that I load are loaded onto the default kit of the expansion from the preset I try to copy and not to the kit Im working on.

To access a preset, I have to load the library corresponding to the setup the preset is made with and this changes the kit Im working on to the default kit of the library I open to be able to access the preset. All I can find is how to load parts of a preset onto the currently pictured kit in the main window, not the kit that Im working on.

Presets are specific to an expansion. You cannot load or even access a preset from one SDX in another SDX.

(Well, you can access your user presets on disk and copy them from the location of one SDX to that of another
but it is higly doubtful that loading them will result in something that you like.)

If you have spent some time creating a special drum, say a snare, where you have applied an envelope to some articulations and some pitching to some others and stacked articluations with other sounds and balanced the velocity response so that the result is just awesome then you save it as a User Instrument. User Instruments are not specific to the current library. They can be loaded onto any position in any library.

Damn! This is what I was wondering before I take advantage of the sale on SDXs. Glad I found out prior. Thanks!
