For example, in a pattern, I want only track 1, 2, 3 or 4 to play at any one time, so if track 1 is playing and I select track 3, 3 will start and 1 will stop.
And then have other groups from track 5 - 8, 9-12 and 13-16 set up similarly so I can only ever have 4 tracks playing at once in this scenario.
In the kit menu, you have trig and mute controls… The first means “everytime this track trigs, also trig this other one”. Good for layering, but it’s not what you asked for.
The MUTE control is more interesting. It means “everytime this track trigs, kill everything that’s playing on this other one”.
Not the same as the MPC style mute groups, you can’t do that on the MD
