Came from the world of s950 and sp1200, is there an easy way to have multiple samples cut each other off? Thanks in advance.

Yup. Go to program mode and either set the whole program to mono (if you want all the samples in the program to mute eachother) or set up pad mutes (if you only want specific pads to mute other specific pads). If you have JJ OS2XL, you also have mute groups you can use instead.

As mp3 alluded to, there will be many options open to you so that you can manage this in the way you see fit.

I think you'll need to give more details about exactly how you want it to behave before somebody can say "heck yes" or "you're better off doing it this way" though.

are you a jjos2xl user?

mono is useful if you want to press a pad repeatedly and have it cut itself off.

mute groups let you assign several pads to a group (group 1 for example), every time you hit pad in that group it will cut off another pad in that group. you can have lots of mute groups.....i especially use this when i chop up loops - say i have a 2 bar piano loop, i might slice it into 8 parts, then i assign each sample to 8 pads, i add all those pads to a mute group, now i can play those pads and cut each other off and only effect those 8 pads and not the rest of my sounds.

ive also used mute groups for intros. say i have some goofy quote that is like 10 seconds long that i want for my intro. i can assign that intro to group 4, and the say on the first beat of my sequence my drum kit hits, i can assign that to group 4. now i can play the intro, then start playing my sequence and cut off the intro whenever i like......

just jj os 2.

what im looking for is to have one pad cut off another. i under stand the Mono and Poly prgm play and voice play, but to target the exact pad is more complicated, i been messing around with it and still cant find out how to do it

hit mode then hit LFO/Mute tab then you can edit target field to have a pad shut off another under target or just set both pads mute group to the same number pad a1 and a2 to mute group one will cause them to cut each other off.
