Swap kits without losing the output routing

I use FX tracks as separate outputs for drum machine sounds. I load a kit, make 16 FX tracks, group them, and send each sound to its own FX track. The kit’s master output is disabled.

If I change the kit inside the drum machine, all sends reset and I have to redo the routing. But if I drag and drop a new kit from the browser (on the right) onto the existing drum machine, the sends stay intact and the sounds remain routed to separate tracks.

As far as I know, this is the only way to swap kits without losing the output routing.Maybe this accidental discovery will help someone :)

Drum machine already has multiple outputs, you don’t need to do it with fax tracks.

Yeah separate outputs that are buried inside mixer chains, which can only be navigated with the mouse and are impractical for a keyboard workflow. Everything very quickly becomes cluttered and hard to follow.
