I can’t understand why there are no pads lit up in Bank B. All pads have samples assigned to them and they launch as they should. The Edit shows the sample and all the settings available for that particular pad. The pad is lit green when in edit mode but that’s it! The rest of the time they are not lit even when triggered. The sub mixer header for the B Pads is black too which is a pain as it’s difficult to see which pad I’m adjusting!
Any ideas?
Thanks Michael

pad colors, you didn't set pad colors and/or associated settings.

Yes, there is a menu option to assign a range of different colours to each pad in the Bank. They also appear as headers on the sub mix.
