Drum programs not full polyphonic

Hi gUys
I need to work this out as its driving me nuts.
I have some 909 and 808 drum programs made for the mpcx by Samles from mars, that sound brilliant. But as you get into building the layers of drums im finding that it can't play more sounds. I cant get the exact wording together but lets say there is a kick a hat a snare and when I try to play more sounds they simply cant play, the notes record but they dont play.

Is there a way of turning up the polyphony?

Cheers

Need to check the poly settings in program edit. There's one in the master screen that will probably be the culprit. Also make sure mute groups are off on each pad (LFO page I think, not at my MPC ATM).

The Program itself has Polyphonic Settings , as well as Each Pad in the LFO/Modulation Tab.

Make sure everything is set to "POLY"

Thanks guys
ill look in a sec. Hope it works !

Ok Guys
I hope someone sees this.
some of the pads have mute group set to 1, they all have pad polyphony set to mono. Master is set to polyphonic.
If this is the answer, how do I save the changes into the .xpn program please?

Cheers

Pads set to mono isn't going to stop the kit playing polyphonically, it just forces an individual pad to be monophonic with itself (i.e. other sounds can happily play over that pad, it just can't overlap itself).

Program set to poly is fine.

The mute group sounds like the only thing that would affect overall polyphony here, but it depends, as you said only some pads have a mute group 1. Typically you would use this with open and closed hats. If pads like snares and kicks are also set to mute group 1, turn them off, but it would be odd to have added mute groups for those samples in the first place. However I believe the MPC programs in the samples from mars collections are built in older, legacy MPCs, so perhaps there's a conversion bug going on.

After making successful changes, save the program via 'MAIN > program row pencil icon > Save current program'.

If you can't fix it, just make your own kits from the samples.

I have the same question. Any solutions moc tutor thanks

Apart from the working solution already provided in this topic?

I just wanted to wish you a belated thanks for this reply to my query. Years later ive just found myself in the same situation, having forgotten all of this, and chanced upon my own post about it.
Indeed the Samples From Mars suites were made on an older MPC so this could be the reason.
Thanks
