So yes, it would make some sense to use information to create a different kind of sound in hydrogen. If this has to be a second dimension of samples stands to discussion. The second dimension could also be simulated by manipulating the ADSR envelope and maybe some EQing to get a brighter tone in the vicinity of the rim. I would think that it is harder to achieve good results for the second method, but i guess that not a lot of people are interested in recording n*m samples (n velocity steps, m position steps). The other downside of multi-dimensional layering is the amount of memory which is necessary to store the samples. Drumkits with multiple, one-dimensional layers can be up to some gigabytes already. You would need disk streaming for samples (like linux sampler has, and as long requested by some hydrogen users) to cope with such large libraries, since most people which speak about these things on our forums are not using machines with 12GB memory, but small and often older laptops with 1-4gb. Of course there are no limits to one's imagination for the use of other dimensions... There has been also requests for the possibility to script the layer selection.
