Hi,
I've been - forever - having this problem: pretty much every time I change a Pad Bank while performing, the light of the proper pad bank button lights up, but the pad bank actually DOESN'T change! (So let's say I'm playing pad bank A, and I use my footswitch or finger to go to Pad Bank B, the button of Pad Bank B lights up, but I'm still playing Pad Bank A!)
And sometimes, I even have two pad bank buttons lit simultaneously!
Will this be fixed in 1.4?
Is this a hardware problem?
Here is an example where the Pad Banks don't change as they should using my fingers AND my footswitch:
You can clearly see at 0:26 that I change from Pad Bank A to Pad Bank B (with my footswitch). On the hardware, the light goes from A to B, and then immediately goes back to A. On the software, the light goes to B, but as you can see and hear, the Pad Bank is STILL on A.
After the fourth try in a row of attempting to change to Pad Bank B (with the footswitch), it finally works at 0:42 and the light on the hardware finally goes to B. On the software, the light remains on B, and you see the samples changing on the pads.
At 1:02, I change to Pad Bank A (with my hand), but it still doesn't work. Again, the light on the hardware goes from B to A, then right back to B again. On the software, the light goes to A, but you can SEE that the samples on the pads are STILL the ones from Pad Bank B.
After numerous attempts (still with my hand), at 1:11, the Pad Bank finally switches to A.
I have shows starting in a few weeks. I've been waiting for this MAJOR bug to be fixed for 4 months now. FOUR MONTHS! I can't perform like this... It's pathetic. I waste my time trying to find workarounds, but now, at the eve of showtime, I'm freaking out.
Major thanks for any help.
