I probably don’t grasp 100% the ins and outs of the +Drive… but I can at least say how I use it, and how I make it work for my music.

First, whenever I have a series of patterns, kits and samples I want to save, I save it to any snap shot (except slot 1, as this will get erased if you do a factory reset). Most of my snap shots are tied to 1 sample bank. For ease of memory, I’ll save snapshot 128 to link to sample bank 128.

Lately I’ve been using longer samples in my songs, so each snap shot will have more than 1 sample bank required.
So what I will do is create patterns on bank A and use sample bank 2 (titled bank A) until I run out of memory, then I’ll start making patterns on bank B and use sample bank 3 (titled bank B) for those samples, until I run out of memory.
The first pattern on every bank after A will be free of any samples. This is so I can load up another sample bank without screwing up the performance/set, as it’ll take a second or two to load. This system seems to workout pretty well for me. The naming convention was key.
Cheers,
Mike
