Had some weird sh*T just happen with my 2kXL, check this:

I've got 5 tracks all together in one sequence - {Pizzicato, Drums, Bass, Bell and String tracks}

When I have only Pizzicato, Drum and String track playing {the rest muted}, ONE of the kick drum hits wouldnt play? All the rest of the drum hits including the kick played fine, except for this one hit!!

So,

When I played only Strings and Drum track - fine

When I played only Pizzicato and Drum track - fine

But when I put the three together, there is ONE kick drum hit which wont play - it doesnt even attempt to play, i cant hear the hit at all.

I moved that kick drum foward one step, from '02' to '03', and now it plays ok.

WTF????

Hardware conflict or something? Like when I opened it to put the ram in maybe? :?


any help thanks

I've had similar $hit happen a bunch of times. A lot of the time it has to do with the sequence before it. Im assuming the kick is at the beginning of the sequence. A lot of times when the same pad plays right at the end of a sequence and at the beginning, it does that. Move that kick drum to another pad, put it in the same place in the sequence and see if it works. If it doesnt, well, thats all I know.
