*To be clear this is not to be confused with MONO vs Stereo .
I have a set of sequences and the Program is set to MONO ( as opposed to POLY)
Meaning that each sample cuts off when another plays.
When i explode the tracks to put in my Daw ( Logic)
the samples no longer carry that information . Each sample is its entire length .
Is there a way to retain that information and keep the sequence true to Mono pad cutoff when i explode the individual tracks ?
Thanks for any help

Hello unfortunately I don't think it's possible, because exploding tracks breaks the "MONO3 relation between midi notes and samples used in the program.... if your program is MONO, maybe you don't need to explode it, as it will remain one ane only one sound source in your exported track...

(for mixing purpose, I guess you need to really have those differents samples on separate tracks ? :

- use pad mixer to route the samples which are cutting each other to different physical outputs of the LIVe or X , and record this in multitrack on your DAW.

- don't explode, but after export in your DAW manually select the samples that cut each other and move them to separate tracks.

- Explode, then manually cut the samples wheres the other one start , can be very quick on reaper or other DAW.

hope it helps

Mono/Poly on the Master Tab is for the Whole Program. Try going into the LFO/Modulation Tab and set up Your Mute Groups. That'll Cut the Samples off each other.

I feel like that "information" is not part of the audio in the sample. It's the machine doing live tweaking/manipulation and that's why it's not saved as sample audio when exploding. It's one of the reasons people still like to run individual audio outs into DAWS. No export bs, just raw audio the way you made.

If you separate into tracks as standard practice (some do, some don't) then you could run those type tweaks on your tracks in your DAW.

You can bounce samples to audio.
Resample to audio.
etc. etc.
