FL Style 'Cut Itself' in CubaseSX?

I switched from using FL Studio to Cubase a little over a month ago, and I'm pretty happy with it.

However, I am wondering if there is anything similar to setting a MIDI track to cut itself off like the 'cut itself' feature in FL, or even something like setting the max poly to 1 on a track, or something.

Is this something that would soley be an option of the VSTi itself and not done with Cubase, or is there something similar?

I am asking this, because for instance if I do a kick drum rush, snare rush, etc, or just do a stuttering synth line, I would like the sounds to cut each other off rather than go over top of each other.

Yeah, that's up to the sampler, which isn't included in Cubase, you need a separate plugin. They all have ADSR envelopes, and the "cut itself" is equivalent to A = 0, D = 0, S = 1, R = 0 (sometimes R > 0 depending on the effect you want).

Ok, well I see that for drums at least, this can be accomplished when using Battery 2 by assigning drum samples into voice groups and then limiting max voices to 1.

A number of other synth vsti have a max polyphony type setting so I will use that in that case.

Thanks you guys.

Yes, that's one way to do it in Battery, although it doesn't work so well if you actually use the voice groups for other purposes. A better way is just to edit the ADSR like I mentioned earlier.
