Here is the next question: how do you do that?
Using bsewavetool. See my other mail and tentative 0.7.2 release plan. Now you may say (after you reread that): if its not released, how can I use it? If you compiled from source, you'll find a working version of bsewavetool in the tools/ directory of the source tree. However, we're still polishing bsewavetool (and yes, there will even be a manual page), so... the format, the options and so on may still change. So you can try to use it now, or wait until its polished, documented and released. > > Tracks/examples I made already contain such multi samples, and the 808 > > kit you can download from the instrument archive at the beast site is > > based on such a multisample, too. > > The README file says that the file drums-808kit.bse should be moved > to ~/beast/instruments.

The 808 Kit will show up as "DrumWave" (well, I should have given it a proper name); you can also use the File Selection tab of the dialog, then you need not place the file in any special directory.
