Thanks for your help. This worked, but there seems to be buggy? Here’s what I did to test the concept.
Legacy of Rock library.
Selected Keep Output Routing on Preset Change
Loaded Amber Medium Ambience preset
Routed kicks to output 3/4 and named that output “kick”
Loaded in Sparkle Room Ambience preset
The kick channels reflected they were routed to output 3/4, but…
Output 3/4 was gone, only default output 1/2 remained visible
Clicked on Edit Visibility/Show All Channels to see if 3/4 was there.
Output 3/4 revealed itself, and it was the kick buss I had routed to, but it was named 3/4 again, and I had to rename it “kick”
It had been hidden during the process, so I had to unhide it, and I imagined having to do this for a handful of outputs each time I change presets.
Tried it with another preset with same result. Is that how it’s supposed to work? You do all your output routing, and then have to go in preset by preset and unhide the outputs and rename them all again? One thing it definitely doesn’t do at all is carry over added kit piece busses that are then routed to outputs. I use busses all the time for instrument pieces, which I feed into outputs. If this is how it’s programmed to work, maybe a requested feature is a way to go.

What I find myself doing over and over, once I settle on a kit with any stacks is routing kit piece channels (kick, snare, hat, toms, X-drums, OH, rooms,etc.) to their own outs so I can bring them into DAW channels. So, If I create a custom routing configuration for a specific kit from a specific library, how would I apply that custom routing setup to drums from the same library? Thanks.

By restricted I meant you’d not be able to use aax format plugins (if you use Pro Tools) as Avid doesn’t allow wrappers or hosts for aax format plugins. Not everyone that uses PT installs every plugin format. Besides hosting third party plugins could compromise SD3 stability. I’d rather have SD3 do what it does and have my third party plugins in my daw. That way I don’t have to keep SD3 open and taking up ram and cpu cycles once I get my drum tracks where I need them. I treat SD3 like I treat real physical drums. Render it all out to audio and mix away. I don’t do any mixing in SD3’s mixer.

You do realize there are a ton of people on DAWS other than PT who use VST would love this ability?😀

Not ideal, but if you look in the EZK1 folder, there’s a folder (I think it’s called Chords) that comes with EK1 that has some really basic single chord articulations. There’s a “rolling chord” that can work as a final chord in a song, or get you close and you can tweak in Edit Grid.
