Prolly a simple answer, but i can't seem to find it in the manual. How do i make it so when I play a new sample the previous playing sample cuts off?

Your talking about mute groups. The 404 doesn't have mute groups. Just rock the samples on gate and use your own timing to cut off the samples when you play another one, or sequence then correctly. The mv, 808, i think the 505 and the 606 has mute groups.

go into delete mode. the sequencer will be disabled though

alrighty thanks, thats what i've been doing.
