2 Trigs? 1 Fill 1 not?

I’m programming some midi patterns and wanted to get into Fill Trigs. What I don’t understand is if there can be a 2 trig option on a step? A trig that plays normally and an alternate, like a different midi note that will give a different drum hit, set to only play when in fill mode.

I imagined boolean conditions of a sort. Snare hit set to not play when in fill mode, Cymbal Crash when in fill mode, so you get a snare normally and a crash in fill.

I know how to set the conditional trigs n such, I just found I want different hits on the same beats as ones already there… seems not how fills work but figured it can’t hurt to ask.

Thanks!

The method is to use 2 steps, and micro timing the second to be right next to the first. One of them is the fill.

and giving the regular step a “not fill” (fill with the lines above it) trig condition. That prevents both from sounding.
