Solved Understanding Impact Channels

[coro]

hey all

Mind helping me getting my head around how Impact (or maybe S1 as a whole) handles instruments such as Impact and how the samples are routed?

In this pic, if I do anything at all, drop volume or pan, in the main channel nothing really changes, so I'm wondering what's the use of that?

My logical brain assumes that the turquoise channel should affect all the separated outs but that's not the case.

Thanks!

Impact can provide a channel for each element of the instrument. E.g. for a drum kit you get separate outputs for kick, snare, toms (several), metals (several)... It allows you to treat every element separately. To treat them all together you send all channels to a bus and then treat the bus. Currently you have every element routed to Main directly.

Thanks Switch

but then what's the purpose of the 1st channel also being colored differently?

Is the first channel - highlighted?

Thank you both

Lukas video helps a lot thanks

I now assume that I need to re-route all the outputs everytime I load a preset since I've noticed they're a bit all over the place.
I wonder why those presets weren't created with each pad routed from 1 to 16 by default.
This is first questionable choice I've encountered in Studio One XD

But at least I know how to do it thanks to the video.

Thanks again!
