Sound cuts out when I record?

After I record my hat and I put in my kick and snare on seperate tracks for some reason they get cut out. I went to parameters and switched it to mono to see if this is what caused it and it was. Can someone please tell me why when I switch from poly to mono my hats or snares or kicks will be cutting out? Hope I explained well enough.

basically, mono means you can only play one sound at a time, poly means you can play multiple sounds at once.

...in the program you´re working in of course. The MONO / POLY parameter does not effect the whole machine, just the program you´re fiddling with.

Yeah my bad, I forgot there were 2 mono/poly settings. On the top right of the parameters screen is when it only lets you record one note at a time. Correct me if im wrong.

the top right one is program wide, the one lower down in the middle is for the selected sample, ie if you have a long sample, having the lower poly/mono set to poly, and you hit the pad twice in quick succession, the sample will play and then play again over the top, whereas if you have it set to mono, the second hit will cut out the first one.

hope this helps.
