Hey Bri, a few things: Only one samplebank can be loaded at a time. We don’t have immediate access to the samples in the other 127 banks. The only samples we can use instantly and simultaneously are those in the particular bank we have loaded. So we can’t just make two kits that use the samples from two different banks the way you’re describing.
There’s a workaround … but first some background, in case it helps:
The basic approach is to create a snapshot (say #009), then go to the samplebank menu, choose samplebank #009, then give it the same name as the snap. Then go back to the snapshot and save it. From then on, the snap and samplebank will be linked to one another, so whenever you load snap 009, the samples you’ve saved in bank 009 will load as well. Any kits and patterns you make in that snap will be able to access the 48 samples in that bank … but only those 2.5 Megs of samples.
The workaround:
It is possible to switch samplebanks, even without stopping the sequencer. So in theory you could save your DR-110 samples to one bank and the TR-909 samples to another. Then, in a single snapshot, you could create one kit that assumes you are using the DR-110 set and another that assumes the 909 set. HOWEVER, between one kit/pattern and the other, you will have to switch samplebanks manually with the requisite bit of menu diving.
I find it helps to allow a moment for the samples to load. If you’re planning to do a continuous liveset that uses this workaround, I’d recommend having a pattern running that uses all internal synth machines while you switch banks, to avoid potential glitches.
Hope this helps.
