Note: For Layer A of the hi-hat and ride
cymbal triggers, you can not select a
different Category. Also, the available
Instruments for that Category are a pre-
defined set of sounds designed to work
together (since the hi-hat and ride can
trigger a variety of different sounds).
However, you can assign Layer B to a
Category or Instrument you like for
those triggers.
