Separating Drums on a Simple Instrument Track?

yep there is. you can just drag / drop the midi part to a new instance of SD3... you can keep all the midi parts together BUT just assign each hit a separate audio out.. you can use track templates if you want.. insert > track template > Soft Synth Track Templates and select one of the multi out ones.. you can eq each drum on a sep. audio channel... or you can modify the option window when you insert SD3 to have multi-out, not just the 2 mains. If you turned that off , just press "o" (not zero) and tick "ask every time"

Fog, thanks for the reply. I tried what you said but I can't get it to work. When I open a session of SD3 with multiple outs, should I be creating a track folder, or does it matter? I've tried creating an instance with a track folder, and an instance where I've only checked the option All Synth Audio Outputs: Stereo. But now do I need to drag and drop the drum clip into each drum track, or just the first? I've tried it on the first track in SD3, where I would expect the kick drum to play, after having routed the outputs of each drum, but I get no output. However, I've just tried it with the track template, as you suggested, selected the template for the same kit as the one I was using, dragged the midi clip into the top line of the new SD3 track, and it's all working. Thanks for your help. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong with my original method, though?

I've at least got it to work with a track template, so thanks again for your help there, Fog. It's just that when I try to create a new instance of SD3, I'm unsure which boxes I need to check when it opens. When I've tried it this way in the past, dragging the existing drum track into the new instance of SD3, and routing each drum to a different track in the SD3 Mixer, I get no sound output. I'll keep trying, but at least I have one way of getting it to work. Thanks again.

I think I've finally figured it out. It was working with the track template because there was a midi track I could drag and drop into, which wasn't appearing when I created an instance of SD3. After some trial and error, I worked out I needed to check the Midi Source box, in addition to the All Synth Audio Outputs box. Finally got there. Thanks again.
