OGD,

The modules and trigger to midi interfaces that permitted multiple 
stacking of four or five notes usually also offered the ability to 
alternate them in various patterns to create percussive or musical 
loops. Obviously the DTXpress doesn't have that feature, in which 
case two layers seem adequate, but, as Zero Mostel said in the 
Producers, if you got it, flaunt it. You just might come up with 
something fantastic. Ddrum's multisampling doesn't have the same 
synthetic foundation. Its rationale was simply to make a particular 
drum or cymbal sound as natural as possible under various percussive, 
positional, and ambient conditions.
