As Murray already wrote: use the velocity-settings in the zones 
rather than in the groups.  And to actually add someting to Murray's 
post :), for a mute group: assign a couple of hhat samples to one 
group and set its polyphony to 1.

If only I could remember Sascha Frank's tip on how to get more 
natural sounding mute-groups (less machinegun-like).  Something like: 
set polyphony to something like 3 or 4, and (?) insert a zone with a 
silent sample, and then...???  Anyone recall that one?
