hi everyone, ok i’m not really a renoise beginner, i’m ok with old school tracking but yesterday i received my brand new korg padkontrol 
and I’m trying to play with it within my fav software.
excuse my english
So…
Creating a new instrument with several samples in it, assign each sample to a pad (a note) ,then :
my first question is : when trigering a sample, how can I let it play till the end, even if sending a noteoff ? I’ve tried the “nna” “continue” is sample properties but doesnt work. ie, for a snare, if I just hit the pad shortly, the sample will only play the first milliseconds and then stop. I’d like to hit and hear the snare in its full length ?
This can be done in editing the Instrument, but then the volume etc applies to all samples in the instrument
I admit this is almost my first time in trying to create a instrument set or even a drumkit. Maybe there’s a tutorial somewhere.
2nd question, the most important one :
Is there a way in Renoise, to assign a midi channel to an instrument ?
Like, if I hit a C1 in midi channel 1, it triggers a vst in first instrument slot.
Another note in midi channel 2, it plays the sample in 2nd slot… etc
I don’t wanna buy Cubase … 
please help lol
