Yes, they're edited individually.  Remember to check the volume and
pan settings for V-1 and V-2 after you pick the sounds.  The volume
you may want different, but since we're talking about one trigger, you
want the pan setting the same.  Some of them by default aren't.  Like
one snare may be set to L-7 and one to C.  Make them the same.

I use it mostly for snares, cymbals and kick.  With toms, it's hard to
get a good sound because you have to play with the pitch more than you
would with the aforementioned.

I like to combine the [s Manycure] with loose sounding snares for a
good sound.  Remember there are the [S] snare sounds and the [s] snare
sounds.  Combining some of these make for an interesting sound.  The
stick sounds for your snare rim are also good candidates for mixing
sounds.

I also like combining the attack of the Wudpoint or dry kicks with the
unmuffled kick sounds to produce something in between.  Remember that
by adjusting the volume levels of the two sounds, you can "mix" the
sound to your liking.

Here's some of my combos...

V-1 s 120 Manycure
V-2 S 005 Binky

V-1 s 120 Manycure
V-2 S 098 Steel65

V-1 S 037 Beauty
V-2 S 063 Snare M

V-1 S 006 MapleA50
V-2 T 051 Room 6

V-1 S 075 Amb 02
V-2 S 014 Hip Hop

V-1 K 050 BDPalmer
V-2 K 049 BDevolvr

V-1 K 035 BD Kong1
V-2 K 002 2HedMed2

V-1 K 048 Wudpoint
V-2 K 004 BD Dry1
