Hi Mates.
I'm wondering how to mute the same pad in mute group?
When set the mute group to couple pads, I can cut pad1 off using pad2 and pad3 but it doesn't wanna cut off when I press pad1 second time. How I can do that?

Turn polyphony to 1. It's the section right next to mute groups.

Polyphony is how many voices play at the same time. 1 would mean, only 1 will be played, all others silenced.

In short, What sirparksalot said, follow that.

With a polyphony setting of one, I'd imagine one does not need to even use mute groups?

The polyphony only effects that pad; it won't cut off another pad unless you set up mute groups as well.

i see.. so in order to restrict a whole program's worth of sounds to a poly of one without setting any mute groups, a part for a multi must be made? and the poly of one set to the part, not the program?
