The advantage is that you can set up a drum set with the instruments divided however to be routed through different processing however you like then you can play the drums on the song and hear the processing live. There is also the advantage that you don't have to spread the drums over a bunch of tracks in the arrange window.

There seems to be a great deal of confusion on this list over "multi- timbral" vs. "multiple outs". What you've just described is multiple outs. Multi-timbral is having multiple patches simultaneously receiving on different MIDI channels; of course, it's always nice to have multiple outs along with multi-timbrality :-) Rob DeBoer
