You can link as many pads as you wish to the individual outs.

I believe the mixer settings are saved per program. You have to assign each pad though. rtfm :wink: :wink:

The question is, can you select many or all of the pads in the mixer screen? Or maybe I should rtfm.

Well, I'm no akai spokesman or anything, but it's really not that big of a deal. Just assign the pads used in the same track to the same individual out. It takes me about 20 seconds to assign the 16 sounds in a padbank to their respective individual out, just organize your shyt and you wont even think about it after a while. I think you can assign the whole mixer at the same time, but I allways have hats, kicks and snares in the same bank, so I've never felt any need to do so.
Assigning a whole track at once would be a nice feature tho.

If you press shift and a pad bank (for example . Shift + bank A)
you select all 16 pads so you can adjust settings on the entire bank at once.
Or even if you just wanna select like 4 or 5 pads , just hold shift and press the pads to select them.

Makes life so mutch easier :D

Oh yeah and ehmm... , rtfm :wink:

Thanks for that man. I didn't feel like pulling the manual out for this little thing. Although I do have it on this little folder here on my right. I tried shift before but I didn't hit any other pad or bank.

Yeah , i did a quick search through the manual and couldn't find it either.
Maybe it was in a manual addendum file.

But, they can't be... because you can have the same Program assigned to different outputs on a sequence-by-sequence basis, so this information has to be stored in the .ALL file, no?
