RE: [Andromeda_A6-ION] Andromeda screen replacement and a bit of a rant...

That's exactly what I meant - where is the setting to route monophonic instruments to specific voice outputs?

I also think it would have been nice to include a feature for polyphonic instruments to be allocated to a pair of voice outputs (for stereo), but that might have been a bit complicated to do while keeping the cost as low as it was.

Thanks
