Im not 100% sure about your question, but yes each slot (a, b, c and d) can be assigned to a separate output. That's one of the beauties on the 2x. press the out mode button (hold down shift and hit the 'b' slot). Now you can push any of the slot buttons and choose output, using the up and down arrows. The outputs are named with a letter just like the slots. 'a' is default for each slot.

yes i mean this. and i found manual and found there is drumkits and presetlist looks like so many presets are usefull to me not too dancey.:)
ps. now i thinking nord lead is best virtual analog at least to me i mean currently im liking most of this. of course prophet 08 etc sounds better but i cannot buy real analogs i think too pricey.

Nords are brillinat little synths - esspecially for Jarre / arp2600 type sounds. They take a little time and effort but it's sound pallette is very varied .

Actually i listened today some users maked stuff and factory demos and found this maybe most analogue :) virtual analogue. even drum type sounds (some times fast envelopes sounds crappy somehow i think) and i think for basses nord lead is one of the best. and i some days ago i found even new nord lead 2x its not so expensive. its very hard know what to buy when budjet its tight. and i like jarre sounds actually these are my main reason (first one and second one is maybe some orchestral & ethnic stuff,and last one is progessive rock i mean drums,guitars,bass etc "real" insturments) now i going hope when i have all money to buy 2x its still available if there is not comes something better to me.:) and i found some demos what says in some uses sh201 its nice but some sounds i think its so awful.

They are ok but nothing special. Classic soft spring keys. There are worth of it's kind. At least Im satisfied with the keys on my 2x.

As long as they're not weighted keys. I hate weighted keys. :P :robertdugenou:

That's another thing... it might be a matter of taste, eventhough the different key types suits different sound areas.
