Idea for SDFX improvement

How difficult would it be to make it so that users can direct each drum slot (or kit piece) to any of the 10 available outputs? This would enable DAW users to use a different track EQ/comp on each tom, for example, because instead of a single track with all the toms on it, each tom could have its own track and FX in the DAW. This would also be helpful if I want to build a custom kit.
Example:
Kick
Snare
Floor Tom
HH
Crash 1
Crash 2
Ride
China
Splash
Cowbell
If this was my drumkit, I'd have to use a bunch of cymbal/aux.percussion samples in tom slots, and they would be subject to the same DAW FX as the floor tom. Not ideal to say the least. If I could assign each slot to its own output the problem would be solved.

Would this be possible at all? I've devised a workaround but it's tedious time consuming.

Hi Colin

Nice to meet you here.

Would it help if any Drum-Slot has it's own output ?
Or is it enough if each Tom has it's own output ?
Or you really need the routing thing ?

Personally I would be happy if each tom had its own output, but I would really like to send each kit piece to a mono output in my DAW. I can set up the panning and routing in there to create a stereo mix and fine tune the FX

I have no idea how much work it would take to accomplish such a task, but I think it would make SDFX a lot more versatile. Perhaps someone else could chime in and help determine whether it would be worth investigating. I wouldn't want you to tailor the program to the needs of a single user, but rather to the needs of the community at large
