I've realized that I can simply use one sound for each
midi track instead of playing several sound in the same kit in one
midi track. In the second way, if I edit it then I will affect each
sound present in the kit , in the first way I don't mind about
affecting other instruments because I use only one of them.

Thx for this information, I was curious about other P2k sound modules

looking at drum maps from emu site, I've found that not all the raw
samples are available as 1-sample instruments. This could be a
"problem" when you are looking for a sound browsing throught
instruments. just scrolling throught them is not enough, you have to
manually try each pad of each kit, or check the drum maps.

thx for the help
