Re: Dropped notes

2004-08-09 by gonzinigonz

Hi rEalm, Bob
I checked the Assign Group setting for all the presets i was using, 
they were all set Poly All except for the HH layer for cutting of 
open closed hats.. in fact any setting i tryed didnt seem to change 
anything.
It was the first thing i went looking for, note stealing. Its kinder 
random when it happens, at no particular place in any of the bars, 
though at some points it would... very odd!
Also it didnt always do it, just to make it harded to track it down.
I managed to find the offending prest that caused the problem.
It was the arp:DA-The Bump from the Protean Drum Rom. All i did was 
trigger it on the start of every bar over the 8 bar loop i had 
created. 
If i muted this part the problem goes.
Also i changed this preset for others and the problem still happened 
if not so bad.
When it happens there can be clicks as the kick drum gets cut short 
if it sounds at all that is..
I erased all controller data from all the tracks i was using just in 
case there was to much data flying around, this didnt make the 
slightest bit of differance.
Also tryed shortning the note length, that seemed to help if it was 
shorted to 3 measures than the four.
What i ended up doing was deleting the layers in the other presets 
that didnt seem to be used in the pattern. This did seem to help the 
problem. 
I looked back through the posts to see if anyone else had a simular 
problem. There was talk about layers that were assigned but not 
sounding that could effect polyphony. (resevered voices..??)
Maybe i didnt read that right, id have to go back and check.
Anyway i dont think i was anywhere near 128 voices sounding at once!! 
Thanks for your replies, i must get to the bottom of this before i 
get to involved in writing new stuff with it.
What do think?
Thanks!
Gonz
