Layer Device

Basically a device that lets you trigger different samples from the same note.

In my mind it would respond to the channel which it was placed on, and it would have three columns:

  1. Note
  2. Instrument
  3. Sample

The last two columns would have drop down menus that would allow multiple selections to me made (like the ‘View’ menu for effects in the Mixer). The device could also be expanded to show additional columns - like an Automation Device.

This would solve the problem of working with separate effects for different drum hits. You would be able to have each drum hit on it’s own track, but at the same time you would be able to enjoy the simplicity of arranging using only one track.
