Hey! So I've been working on this beat and I'm getting huge issues. The sample I'm using is comprised of many little sounds, so I have to hit the pads many times in order to make my own loops. That's okay and all, and I want that on the Mono mode so each pad cancels out the last sound, making a more choppy feel. However, I'm trying to add drums now on a separate track. I'm trying to play with the settings, but nothings worked. The original sample in track one keeps on cancelling out my drums or vice versa. I've been having issues and all I want to do is have one track or program with the sample on mono, and the drums on the poly setting. Can anybody help?

You must have assigned them to the same mute groups. Disable them for the drums or simply use another mute group.

Your sample is on the same program as your drums probably. If you've chopped the sample put the drums on a new program. What happens is on a sliced sample program is that the program automatically makes it a mute group by default so tat the slices cut off when you hit a different pad. Or u can turn the master mono-poly to poly and assign each pad to its own mute group.

you dont have to delete them from the pads they are already on if you dont want too.

but if you do just click on "program edit" >"samples" click on the pad you want to remove, then use scroll wheel until there is no sample on it.

then just make a new program and id suggest using a new track as well for the drums.

ive had this same problem you talk about.

i am going to check it out and see ifs maybe a bug that they need to fix.

but for now just do as we say ;p

Why would he assign every single sample to a new program when he can just copy the program?!

@MancheSeale: just copy the program, you don't have to delete anything and do what dazastah said and you are good ;)

you shut your mouth..

if he copys the program he will also copy the exact settings..

which is ok if he plays it in a new track..it wont mute the ones with the chops..

i just like putting everything in seperate programs ;)

That is crossing the line from being an annoying dick to being a rude lady's private parts.

If it is a separate program, it shouldn't interact with the other program.

He asked how to move them without having to do them all again, the easiest way to do that would probably be by copying the program.

well i was just playing...
so shut your mouth too.

yea akai needs to let us click +alt to keep selecting more files..like that we can just select what we want and drag to the program ;)
