Re: need to trigger a song with my hi-hat pedal kind of urgent

2004-02-12 by selfcase

thank you!

i gave it a shot and it's working for me. however, i've come across a 
new problem. even though i save the kit, with the hi-hat triggered to 
turn the 'song' on, after i turn off the brain and turn it back on, 
it plays the song in a different kit altogether. and i don't even 
think it's a kit that i have programmed right now. it just plays 
everything as a piano chord, instead of the synth triggers i 
selected. kind of weird. after messing around with it for about 5 
minutes i can get things working again, but then it goes back to this 
piano setting after i turn it off.

any suggestions?
