Re: Recording BTS triggers again! Aaron ... any suggestions?

2002-04-13 by grimleyj2000

M2,
Thanks for the reply.  I have setup the BTS mode as you said.  I 
have the first part of the Trancer BTS (kick) triggered on the first 
pad (C)at the lowest transpose setting, snare on c# etc.  Now when I 
try to record I can hear the BTS play, but when I hit stop then 
playback the pattern, all I hear is a Kick no matter which pad I had 
recorded.
