RE: Effects+Drum Station
that depends what setup you are suing your DS in - on my setup I can bring DS OUTS into my pc and add these fx in realtime & add automated mix moves for things like the filters etc in realtime... for that you need VST, Logic or Sonar & a multi IN pc i/o device.
if you use a mixer & outboard then i dunno - I assume you want to add distortion/overdrive to SOME of the sounds/outs?.. not the whole stereo mix?.. (cos that'd mean having a stereo distortion overdrive unit) - however, if you have an analog board you can simply drive the channel gains up to get overdrive for one way of doing it... it'll give a quite organic overdrive sound not over-the-top distortion tho.. try a dist' pedal or two for that, but that of course'd only work on one or two outs not a stereo mix. The Electrix would do the job yes for filtering.
however, have you considered how much these two extra units will cost? - about the same as a sampler I'd say... which you could import your DS loops or hits to... it's another option... or just compose & then record your final DS parts to your H/D system and filter it all in s/w in the final mixdown?
