When I copy or explode a midi track on the new MPC's, The audio output stays linked together. So If I change audio out from say, Channel 3 to Channel 4, it changes it on all tracks. The same when you "explode" a drum kit, all tracks stay linked to the same output! Is there a way to unlink this? I often make drums with a kit on one track, then like to separate them out to separate tracks so I can route out through my mixer, but using the copy track or explode method, it is not doable because of this. Am i missing something? Any feedback is appreciated.

Because your audio output doesn't care what track it is. The audio output is tied to the program. Just because you've got two tracks doesn't mean you get two audio channels. You're still using the same program on both of those tracks. A track can be a program, key group, clip, audio file, control voltage, MIDI, etc. The type of output depends on whatever the track is playing. The track is just a fancy placeholder to make a neat numbering scheme right now. 3.0 may or may not completely change this.
