Snippets Instruments Change Together (un-intended)

Thanks for your reply.

You want to use different channels for instruments.

I thought I was (I think I am).

Here is a picture of the device description.

I see 1 thru 16, each discrete.

I still do not understand why those two shown in the video are changing together.

Is there someplace different I need to look/set?

Both snippet columns use the same instrument. If you want to assign a different sound to one column you must create a new instrument and move the snippets to that new column.

OK, and thanks.   I'm sure you're telling me what I need to know, but I don't understand it.

Both snippet columns use the same instrument. 

Do you say that because in the video both columns are titled "Pad"?

I have changed one column to read "Lead", and that does not stop them from always changing together.

The video shows me setting each column output (under the instrument symbol) to a different destination in the Global Rack.   Is this not the column's "Instrument"?    If not, what is it?

Where can I see all the "Instruments" and to which Instrument all of the columns are assigned?

If I need to create a new Instrument, where do I do that?

If the Device Descriptions (and their channels) are not Instruments, then what is the explanation of the relationship between Instruments and Device Description (and their channels)?

If possible, if you could answer each question directly, I think that would help me.

My background is with mutli-timbral hardware synths, and my concept of "instrument" comes from there - a sound assigned to a channel.    It is hard for me to  invent any other way to think about it.  It seems I need some introduction to a new paradigm here!

Thanks again.

The above might lead one to wonder:

a) is this guy a cup short on brain cells?

b) how has he been around and working with Synfire all this time if he doesn't understand that much?

To a), I can only say "I hope not!"

to b), the answer is this:

I spent many days, if not weeks creating a minimal working setup long ago,  The process was so convoluted and confusing that even with notes taken along the way, I never really clearly understood how I ever got it working.    But I did, and once it was working, I moved on.

Now I'm back facing again the situation I never really understood.

It's hard to argue for a re-design of something I don't currently understand - maybe it is actually brilliant and I just don't know it.  

What I do know is that full tutorial information here (text, diagrams, and video), both conceptual and practical, which starts by assuming the user knows nothing about the subject is much-to-be-desired.   Thanks.

Thank you for your comments, they helped, as did the reference to the video.

The columns are NOT instruments.

A critical point, and one I was not clear on!

Both Concepts(1) and Concepts(2) videos offer good diagrams and explanation of the core ideas.  I needed the refresher!

I will probably have some further questions about the dialogs and behaviors when library items are dragged into the Snippets Matrix after I do more experimentation.   Most likely I'll start another topic with an appropriate title.   

Thanks again!
