If I make a bunch of changes to a kit’s track sounds, inc Amp Envelopes, Filter settings, etc… does a quick ‘SAVE KIT’ hold all these for next time I recall the kit?
Yes.
Edit: It’s rather the track’s kit sound(s) you’re changing.
Just be aware that all patterns associated with a particular kit will incorporate the changes.
Yep, that’s kinda why I’m making sure… I’m duplicating kits, renaming them, then editing the track sounds… but I’ve been methodically saving the resulting sounds to make sure I don’t lose them… Way quicker now I feel safe to just save the kit and project.
Same here. I’m just saving sounds to the +drive that go into my sound pool.
Oh, and of course save the whole project from time to time.
I expect you know this already, but for general reference in this topic…
Saving a Sound to the +Drive saves a copy of the Sound. Loading a Sound from the +Drive loads a copy of the Sound. So if you make a Sound, save it, load it to a different Kit, change it… then only that Kit has the updated Sound. Even if you then save the updated Sound back over itself to the +Drive, any other Kit which used that Sound will retain their copy of that Sound, and wont get your changes.
Mostly, this is a good thing, and kinda what you expect.
I mention it because the rest of the thread has been training the readers into understanding that Patterns which share a Kit get all the updates to a Sound (plus the opposite: if you don’t want the updates, save a new Kit)… The Sounds on the +Drive kinda work the opposite way. None of the copies of a Sound will get any updates, ever, unless you manually copy them to every place it’s used.
