Dimension Pro seperate hhat, snare, kick

Is there a way to seperate the drum kits into Hhat, snare and kick, etc., so I can mix it individually? I have P5 and S6PE.

    Sort of. In the options, you can tell DimPro to act as a 4 midi channel synth. However, there are still only 1 stereo pair of audio outputs.

    Do I'd have to pan an element hard left or right.

    Not if you don't want too , each element will be on its own midi channel.

    However if you are talking about one of the full drum kits SFZs, the way round this would be to load the kit into each element. Route your midi for the kick to element 1, the snare to 2 , the hats to 3. This will allow you to apply independent mixing for each element. However you can only mix within Dimension. So you are stuck with Dimensions "effect" chain.

    If you are trying to route audio out of Dimension for external effects, then it would affect the whole lot (Dimension isnt really a drum instrument as such). That being said there is absolutely no reason why you cannot load the same SFZ file from Dimension into Session Drummer 2, where you can use the same sounds. This will then allow you to activate the 8 outputs and the mixing capabilities in that plug in.

    Another alternative is to isolate certain drum sounds in each Element by limiting the note ranges in the Multisample editor. Or take this one step further, and load up multiple instances. If the parts of the kit are all in the same basic program/.sfz file, it'll only get loaded into memory once. The advantage here is with individual control over each audio output.

    A 'cleaner' approach would be to copy parts of the kit from the parent .sfz files (or multiple files), and paste them to a new, isolated files. For example: Kick1.sfz, Hi-Hats and Chokes.sfz, and Snare1.sfz. Then you're just loading what you want each time, and can easily repeat it later on.

    Edit/sfz Works. Anything you want any way you want it. And best of all/most important!!!!! The SFZ only points to the wave files. So you only use up a text file size instead of the way much bigger wrapped files like with soundfont, everything else. You do not waist dive space storing the same wave files for each different set.
