Double Bass - Metalpak and BFD2

Question on Jamstix2 support for 2 kick drums. I notice in the Kit view that there is one kick and that the Metalpak quickstart songs all place the kick on the right foot. I am mixing and matching kit pieces between subhosted BFD2 and the Metalpak kit. Is it possible to have a kick from Metalpak and a kick from BFD2 loaded in Jamstix? Also, is Jamstix designed to replicate double bass by placing all the hits on one bass drum?

This is really no big deal, just wondering. I am easily confused switching back and forth between the kit view in Jamstix2 versus the kit view in BFD2.

Jamstix has only one kick drum sound slot but can play kick notes on both feet. In other words it can simulate a double-pedal setup but not a double-bass setup. Some MetalPak accents use kick notes on the left foot and you can also manually place them there.

AFAICS, you cannot use a MetalPak kick and BFD2 kick selectively.
