If you get a .TD0 file from someone else, it will contain their setup info, not yours.  The setup info will contain a backup of their trigger banks, user patterns, percussion groups, drum kit chains, audio output routings, etc.  Since their personal trigger settings are included in the .TD0 backup, you must replace their trigger settings with yours, if you want to load the whole backup into your module without destroying your own personal trigger settings.

Follow the steps below to learn how to combine different parts of the setup info (such as trigger banks, user patterns, audio output routings, and percussion groups) from different .TD0 backups.

VDrumLib manages the copying of setup info in much the same way that it manages drum kit info.  When you open a .TD0 file, the first item in the list will not be a drum kit.  Instead, it will be labeled TD-20 Setup Info, and it will have the TD0 file extension listed in the kit number column.  To copy this info, just select it by clicking on it with your mouse, then click the COPY button -- just like copying a drum kit.

If you expand the setup info folder, you will see the individual components that VDrumLib will allow you to copy.  The internal name of the expansion will appear in the name column, while a short mnemonic for the specific component will be displayed in the kit number column.  The components and their mnemonics are as follows: Global Info (audio outputs, chains, etc,) = Info, Trigger banks = Trig, Percussion Groups = Perc, and User Patterns = Patt.  To copy any single component, just select it with your mouse then copy it to the clipboard (ctrl+C).

Once you have copied a component from the source listbox on the left, you can paste it over the same component in the setup info of the new library listbox on the right. To paste it, just select the item to be replaced and use the clipboard paste function (ctrl+V).

It is not uncommon to mix components from several backups into a new backup. The example below shows audio outputs from a backup called "Mono FOH", trigger banks from a backup called "MyTrigSetup", percussion groups from a backup called "EXOTICS II", and user patterns from yet another backup called "Giggin' Kits."
