Move or Copy/Paste A Drum Channel from One Preset to Another

[John]

I’ve been searching in the manual and forum for the best way to do the following:

I have a complete preset I’ve designed that I like, but I’ve found a factory preset that has a kick drum I prefer.

What would be the best way to recreate, as closely as possible, the preferred kick drum (top, bottom and sub samples, plug-ins, etc) into my current preset? Is there a one step “copy/paste” function, or multiple steps I should follow?

Here’s how I’m doing it now (assuming I’m duplicating just the kick from preset B to a complete preset A).

1. substitute kick B for the kick in kit A (in Drums tab)
2. in Mixer tab for kit B, save a preset for each kick plug-in (kick in, out, and sub)
3. insert those saved presets into the appropriate mixer plug-in slots for kit A (now with kick B)
4. adjust bleed and levels to ear

Instead of loading an entire preset, you can pick out certain instruments and mixer channels to load by going to “Select Parts…” on the preset (found in the menu arrow on the right side of the menu where you select presets). In there, select to only load the selected instruments, and only load selected mixer channels.

If you have selected the kick in the instruments tab, and select Kick in, Kick out, and Kick Sub (for example) in the Mixer tab – only those will be loaded from the preset!
