Are you using more then 16 stereo or 32 mono samples at the same time? If not, then that's not the problem.

You can exhaust all 32 voices with 1 sample. Ride cymbals, as they tend to ring out long, give me troubles like this. Have you tried setting the samples to mono like Stilo had mentioned?

Yes of course...I was referring to played instances of samples of course.

I'm having the same problem as massacre in BIG ways...

what mrcrappypantson mentioned about rides is similar, long-playing samples are always the ones that get cancelled out for me. I'm always adding long-playing string/synth/keys samples I create from synth as audio samples (not midi, but either way I'd still be recording audio samples) and they keep getting f*cked in the mix... and as massacre stated, the midi notes are in the sequence and the grid (and playback fine when solo'd) they just get clipped by the drums. This is uber-frustrating for me as this is how I generally make every beat (lots of drums and often long-playing audio samples.) Note that they are all in their own program (drums, synth, sfx, etc.) and played with mono/poly settings. This happened on my 1000 as well, but less frequently it seems.

I need to get this worked out ASAP !! Is there any way to add more voices???!!!!

PLEASE HELP

thanks

I'm afraid not.

Try using less samples, using mono samples instead of stereo, or triggering them on another sampler.
