You're right, of course. After another day of fiddling with it, I 
realize now what multiple zones assigned to one key are for. I just 
wish there was a way to "globalize" certain parameters in related 
zones. For instance, in the default kit I'm in the process of setting 
up, I want to tune the Dry Standard Kit tom samples I'm using up a few 
steps. So instead of tuning one high tom sample up 3 half steps, I have 
to do that 12 times, once for each zone.

Another thing I've always done to create more realistic drum rolls is 
to assign each snare and tom sound to 2 keys, and detune one key 
slightly. But whereas with the outboard machines I'm used to, you only 
have to detune one sound, with the EXS you have to detune 12 if you 
want to use all the versions of sample that are available. So I'm 
assigning the 12 versions of the high tom sample to 2 keys, coarse 
tuning all of them +3, and fine tuning half of them +30. I also have to 
check Disable Pitch 24 times. Isn't there a way to make simple changes 
apply to all selected zones?

The problem for me is that when I audition a drum kit, I never like 
every sample in it. When you have to adjust so many individual 
parameters just to change one sound, it makes for way more work than it 
should, IMO.

Thanks again for your help!
