Hi Anko,

I can explain the concept, but I am at a loss as to
what you are seeing with that particular snare.

In my mind there are two types of layering, one where
you have multiple voices (v=1 and v=2) that play
together (technically called stacked), and the other
where you have one voice for the soft hit, and another
for the hard hits (called Crossfade).  Based on your
comments it sounds like you understand those concepts,
so I won't go any further on that topic.

There is one parameter that comes to mind if you do
not hear any difference after adding a second voice
(beyond the obvious of ensuring both voices have their
volumes set high enough to be heard), and that is Key
Assign Mode (topic 2-3 in the Voice Edit section of
the xpress I manual).  This allocates the tone
generator resources for the sounds, and if you have it
in either Mono or High mode, you may not hear a 2nd
voice.

Along with that, I suppose if you have both voices
assigned to the same Alternate group, you would only
hear one of the voices at a time, but that doesn't
sound like what you are hearing.

Maybe someone who is near their kit can try what you
are seeing - I don't have one here in my office!
