question about the assignable mono outputs..
does this mean you can make it so it can only play one sound out of an output at one time?
this is what my old akai s950 does.. it's useful when sequencing chopped samples, so they don't overlap..

No. Thats a HW limitation of the 900 / 950.

You can do that already (stop the overlap) if you so wish by using mute groups. Thats been there in MPCs for years

My understanding of this function is that you can assign a mono sound to an individual output.
It just saves you having to assign to a stereo pair and then use panning.

yeah i use that mute assign thing on my XL all the time, except you can only make it so one pad will mute off two others... and if i'm layering a low pass filter, those two pads make only one sound.
i usually end up having to apply blank pads with the sound muted, and program them so they'll mute off a certain sound.. but it's just a pain in the ass. i wish i could simply highlight all the pads with the chopped up sample and make them mute each other..
