Something I forgot to tell you in my previous post is that you'll have to assign each of your Aux Out to one channel of your multi inst. You do that by clicking on the input button of the aux (just above the output button) and a pop up menu will open. Something else that I find very annoying is that - in the arrange or Mixer windows -,tweaking an Aux out is selecting it, and, selecting an Aux Out is unselecting your EXSP mc,which means that,in those windows,you cannot hear your instrument and adjust the aux at the same time!!! .The only way I found is to first select your inst,then open audio layer of the environment window to access the sub mixer.There,you cannot select or unselect channels but you can tweak the parameters you want. The best then,is to dedicate a screen set for this. Hope those adds will make it... Alain
