I've been experimenting around a bit. I have noticed if I set in the sequencer on the pad with the relevant sample in the settings "ratchet" a little higher, then the sound is also played on the corresponding steps. If I set "ratchet" to 0, then it's quiet again. On another pad with the same sample I don't need to change this setting, there it plays without problems.

Doesnt matter what menu, it will assume whatever track is currently selected. Press the pads to find out.

I have been in the list view. There I will only see the notes that I have saved. The individual steps. Above I can choose what should be displayed to me, I don't see any automation, no solo, no mute, everything empty, really just note events.

So I can assume that it is not due to automation. I am actually surprised when I activate the ratchet in the sequencer (single steps) then the relevant steps can also be heard again. In the other additional created pad, the steps run through without problems. Since I can copy the pad and transfer the setting to the other pad, then the error is of course present. As if the fault was on the pad. So to the programmed steps with the single sample. Very strange indeed.

After trying around a bit, I have now noticed that this effect also creeps in on other pads in other banks. I have now placed a few relevant samples in a new bench on other pads, some pads play the steps 1,5,9,13 perfectly, some are missing the last step or I have to move them all further, only then they are played.
