How do you label the pads on an original kit?

[Mmp]

I am new to making instruments and am trying to figure out how to get labels into a kit layout and didn't find it in the help file.

TIA

Sorry, there is currently no way to do it from the interface (yet). You can, however download your instrument to your computer, un-zip it and edit the .flot XML file to add a label="" attribute to each Sample element. If you are interested, I can provide more details.

I'll take a look at one of the included kit's files and see if I can figure out to edit mine.

Thanks!

You might have a hard time digging one of those out, so I've included an example of the Drums .flot file here:
