Hi Rem,

To change playback mode for all pads/keygroups in one program to one shot:
- go to PROGRAM > ZONE
- set the part edit field from ONE to ALL
- change the play mode field for zone one from "AS SAMPLE" to "ONE SHOT"
All samples in zone 1 in the program will be set to one shot

For poly now go to PROGRAM > PITCH and change the poly setting for one keygroup/pad from 64 to 1. All will follow.

For mute group change a mute group for one pad/keygroup and all will follow.

Don't forget to change the EDIT field back to ONE when you're done making global settings.


Cheers!

That must have been a lot of work Rem. Respect for your perseverance :).
I discovered that the ALL function also works in PROGRAM > KG/MIX and > PITCH accidently one day when I forgot to reset the edit field to ONE, when I was done editing a filter cutoff setting for ALL keygroups. Messed up my mix :D but it got me some new insights on the machine's operation at the same time...
