Splitting drums onto separate tracks

cb8rwh,
In Velocity you can send each cell (drum sound) to a different output. I believe there are up to 8 seperate outs in Velocity if I'm not mistaken. Each cell's default out is the Main out ... it is a small letter M in the corner of each cell. Put your mouse over it and drag up or down to select the desired output you want to send that sound to. On the track in P5 that Velocity is opened up on be sure to right click and unbypass the other outputs you are now using. P5 seems to always default to bypassing multi-outs except for the main. Now, P5 only shows one output at a time for multi out synths, so to select wich output is "seen", locate the numeral 1 on the track that Velocity is opened up on and use your mouse to scroll up and down to the desired output.
Hope that helps ... have fun

It's also nice to use layers for drums. So create a velocity track and then add more layers. You can add as many layers/track as you need. Always add 1 more layer than you need, and don't put any clips in the top layer/track. For example, suppose you want three layers: one for kick, one for hats, and one for snare/claps/toms. Create 3 extra layers so you have 4 in total. Now you can use the top empty layer for muting all the sub-layers. If you don't do this and you want to mute all the drums you have to mute each layer separately.

No, that doesn't work. I believe each track/instrument can have up to 4 outs. The layers act independantly from the outs. Outs are controlled either by midi (note, channel, etc) and how the dxi deals with these messages.
