My apologies Paul.. maybe I was mistaking this with someone else's in the
vast breadth of other posts on the subject. As it happens, I can't find your
particular post. But.....

39 posts over an 11-day period all offering various solutions to what would
be a simple answer on the equivalent Akai mailing list - "Assign the various
hi-hat samples to the same mute group - they will play polyphonically as
expected but will be mutually exclusive with one cutting the other off".
That's what the original poster wanted.

I have no axe to grind here - ss I mentioned, I am just astonished that such
a fundamental facility that has been in place elsewhere in hardware samplers
since 1990 is still absent 15 years later in what is purported to be (and
marketed as) a 'cutting edge' software product.

I happen to think that this is disgraceful and causes me to wonder what the
paper spec for this product was - too look good in press releases and ads to
sell the product or to be genuinely useful and versatile for users. The
former by the looks of it... lots of bells and whistles but the basics
overlooked!

In this respect, I think that Sascha is dead on the nail - dedicated drum
samplers seem to have the edge on the 'generic' sampler for such functions.

Which is fine - horses for courses. Use the best tool suited to the task in
hand.
