When in programmode in, there is that function wich makes that when you press a pad, the cursor goes to the corresponding sample or zone.

Well ive a problem that sometimes while in programmode, that function doesnt work anymore, anyone else is experiencing this problem???
It can be very annoying

Hello mo,

that does happen when your editing a drum program in the program page and have got a tack selected in the main page that has a keygroup assigned to it. ............is that it?

i got a little gripe as well........=
in program mode when i select a sample by pushing a pad ,and the push sample it should go to the sample trim screen with the selected sample ,but most the time i have to repeat this twice as it shows the previously sample....eh why

dont know then,but mabye i didnt explain well enough

select a track with a keygroup assigned to it,and then go to the prog page and select a drum program,put monitor to multi, and what u desribed happens?

if u have a Chromatic key group assigned to a track in the main page selected and then go to the program page and edit a drum program , u samples wont be in the right place when selecting them cause ur using a chromatic pad assignment to select samples in a drumgroup with a default pad assignment.

Yo Mo, it only works with DRUM programs, program type, not track type.
If ya're editin' a keygroup program, ya gotta hold SHIFT and GOTO for da 4K to select the KG ya're playin'

Yo Rev, I kno what ya're sayin' 'bout editin' a program with monitor on multi. Me thinks it's normal 'coz pads are playin' the part in the active track. Ya gotta select a track playin' the part ya wanna edit.
Or put monitor on program.
