I am building a Drum Synth that has 8 slots as per: kick, snare, clap, hihat closed, hihat open, lo tom, mid tom, hi tom.

I figured that if I send the audio from all 8 subpatchers to [plugout~] (or alternatively [plugout~ 1 2] ) then of course it will come out from my Max4Live device as a stereo mixdown, all sounds on 2 channels (left and right). This can be monitored in Live on an Audio Track by setting "Audio From" to my device.

I have also figured that if I give another argument to the object, I can send 8 outputs as [plugout~ 3] , [plugout~ 4] etc. which indeed appear as additional outputs in Live in that section but I can only monitor them in stereo pairs (3+4, 5+6 etc) and not in Mono.

This wouldn't be a huge problem either, I will use 18 outputs then, 1+2 as a Master stereo and stereo pairs for all 8 slots, BUT isn't there a way to name these outputs so that Live shows not just «"yourdecivename" | 3+4» but something like «"yourdevicename" | 3+4 Kick"» so that the userdoesn't have to memorise which channels provide which part of the engine?

Does anybody know anything about the topic?

No, I don't think there is any way to supply a custom name there. In fact some M4L code I've written relies on their deterministic formula of name construction to make routing selections (by iterating over available_routing_channels list and comparing their display_name value to expected things in order to get the identifier).
