I made this one sequence, saved it, and it plays back fine (the bassline for the song you can call it) the second sequence, I set the BPM to 100.00 like the first sequence, and I want to make a short sequence with just 2 pads which have two vocal samples (to be used as the intro). I record this Sequence 2, and when I play it back, I either get a kick drum in the beginning and nothing else, or a kick drum and then only the data from the second pad I hit. I made sure I recorded and played within the sequence length, but it still doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?????

sounds like the track you are on in the new sequence is set to the wrong program.

or you don't have the vocal samples program loaded up into memory.

or you messed up your sample names and used Sample01, Sample02, etc.
this will jam you up in the long run, be sure to name them as you record them.

if you have a Vocal called Sample01 and a kick called Sample01 only one of them can be in your memory at a time.

actually, the names are different. check it out. I made a quick drum loop in sequence 2, and it plays back fine (using samples in pad bank A) when I try to do it again, using only 2 pads from pad bank B, it doesn't work.
