can't hear two pads at same time

I'll have a loop playin but when I try to play drums over it or parts of another sample the loop dat is playing blanks out when I press the other pads. This is really frustrating. In other words I can't play two pads at once. Can anyone help??? Greatly appreciated

Did you use chop shop/create new program? Check to see if POLY mode is on, and that the MUTE GROUPS are off. That would be my guess.

I don't know if this is a stupid question but how do i check if poly mode is on and track mutes. Thanx

hit mode, and then pad 7 (program). click F3 to go to the params menu, and check the "play" field in the upper right hand corner. if that is set to "mono", then every pad you press in that program will cut off any sounds that are currently playing from that program. change that to "poly", and you should be able to have the sounds from different pads overlap.

the "voice overlap" field is similar to the "play" field except rather than having all pads in the program be cut-off by eachother, this field only refers to whether or not the current pad will cut itself off.

you can read up on this in the manual. in the Program chapter these fields are explained under "Limiting the number of the voice in the Program", and "Setting the overlap of the sounds on the same pad (voice overlap)", respectively. as episode mentioned, you should also read up on mute group and mute target.

Thanx guys. The problem was the play field was set to poly. Appreciate the help.
