Simult pad will only trigger those four assigned voices, so yeah if your using for it for hits then time maybe to sample the hit your creating after 4 layers and then you can layer this with more simult. how many layers do you need and why is resampling not an option?
This is where JJOSXL pattern to pad feature can save your bacon to, of course, if you think about it. This is how you do it, follow my steps and you will achieve what you want.
First we are going to set it up, and this needs to be done in oder to make your MEGA SIMULT hit. Its crucial you make all hits happen at the same time of course, but you do not have to, say for example for flams. But you must make sure it is exactly the START of the bar.
1. Just simply use a few simult pads to record your million hits at the start of a track. Max is 32 voices anyways so you wont be able to use more than 16 stereo voices, in this or any other method. 3 full simult pads is is 15 voices of stereo, equalling 30 of 32 voices, leaving you with two, which is why resampling is good here.
So think about you voice limit as well. But what you want is every pad you want in your mega simult set up recorded first in a track. So for instance I can use simult to record Pads 1 plus simult gives me pads 2-5, then i manually add Pads 6B, 9B, 8C, 9D, 12D, 14D. As long as they are all recorded at the exact start of the bar you are halfway there.
2. The track only needs to be one bar, but recorded SIMULT hit must be at the start of the bar as I said. You could use any track, even at the same time you are listening to other stuff you are doing so you can hear if it is same as something else if your copying, or if it fits in a mix. The trick here is looping that one bar so you can hear the huge simultaneous SIMULTs hit you have made, and if you have set loop on you can hit start and audition you work instantly. So this enable you to build that mega simult hit in context or compare but not commit to recording it yet, and still have all the program parameters intact. Thats why I think you are not re-sampling that layered sample. Right?
3. Now, track to pattern of that MEGA SIMULT you made, of that one bar its at the start of. Then.....
4. assigned a pad to pattern play in the main screen, you guessed it assign the pattern you just made to that pad.
5. Abracadabra you have now a pad that triggers more than four other notes, just like you wanted. It also records this as well. give it a go.
