Pairing up of Songs and Drumkits

Not sure if anyone has ever suggested this before, but one of my biggest frustrations is finding “THE” or “a” drumkit to a song that doesn’t have it listed, etc. Even when listed, and you experiment a little, you might have to find a thread here or maybe you took a note about the original drum kit. Perhaps it’s in a text file in a zip, but even in that situation, it’s not really connected to a song.

Every song needs a drumkit. So I’m suggesting that metadata for “suggested drum kit” or “original drum kit” or “recommended drum kit” be accommodated in the song somewhere, so that there’s a fallback to the drumkit that was used when the song was created.

Even the ability to “lock” and “unlock” a drumkit for a change might be an idea also.

Just putting it out there.

Thank you
Bob

Hi Bob,

Thank you for posting the feature request.

Currently, the .sng file already includes the data for which drum set the song should be played back with. So if the drum set is already loaded in the Online Manager, once you import the song the drum set will be automatically assigned.

Could you please elaborate a bit more on your idea and how you imagine it being implemented in practice? Once we have a clearer picture, I can forward it to the dev team for consideration.
