I know I can load only sounds or patterns but taking it a bit further I would like to be able to lock the mute settings as well as pattern and sound settings while browsing patterns per individual pattern and sound.

The mute setting I really need :)

Not exactly what you ask for, but maybe it can be useful when it comes to muting channels.

Load up the Microtonic Multi-output version, then route all the individual channels to their own mixer channels. You can now mute/set volume or put effects on individual drum channels.

Yes , I was aware of that method but I am using it via midi to play other machines , and sometimes I dont want all the pads playing while browsing new patterns or loading them.

I was also thinking about being able to lock sounds and patterns per channel while still browsing either new sound or patterns for the other channels.
