Where are all the articulations for a stacked drum?

It would seem that the articulations for the stacked instrument are not there, when you write mouse click on the main drum, all the articulations and switches for the main drum are available but not on the stacked instrument. Only the center articulation is there.

I would like for instance to have the rimshot from both drums.

You cannot assign a single MIDI note to two single instruments so you are forced to stack.

What am I missing?

Thx

Yes John, exactly.

However I think it would be fairly simple to automatically assign the samples in the most common manner most only have a two or three articulations. The exceptions being the snare and cymbals. THey seem to follow a common set of articulations as well. If its incorrectly assigned for a few articulations, so be it. ITs better than not any attempt at all.

Like a said earlier, this would be also addressed by simply having a “duplicate instrument” function. I assumed it was there somewhere, took me quite a while of searching and reading to discover it doesnt exist.  it would really fix all these issues. The crucial element of all these possible features is that they would be triggered by the same MIDI note within SD3 or from a midi or DAW situation. IT seems like a pretty simple design to me.

As far as using an additional instance of SD3 and having it play a “doubled up” instrument to solve this missing feature; Yes, that is what i do often. I talked about that method earlier in this thread. THat method introduce many further complications. SO many. ITs best used at the very end of a session where you know the drums are not going to change. Not to mentions routing and phasing issues.

The “duplicate Instrument” (with or without duplicate mixer channels) is certainly the best option (imho). Its gonna happen sooner than later. there is really no reason to not incorporate that feature. This feature would also create so many cool creative options for testing different snare sounds and what not. LEts do it!
