Simpler cannot layer beats

Post by thegoodsirjames » Wed Feb 03, 2016 2:19 pm

Hi guys, anyone had this problem? If you make a drum rack with simpler sounds, then programme say a snare and a kick on the same beat, one of them will drop out each time. Happens to me all the time since 9.5
Anyone else have this issue?
Cheers!

Is it a problem with choke groups?

it's basically a problem any time I have samples on different drum pads and try to programme two of them on the same beat, eg a kick and a clap. The kick will normally drop out. It's driving me nuts! Thanks for your reply

As yur2die4 suggested, it's probably due to choke groups...

Yeah guys you are right, thanks for your help. But is there a way to stop Live from automatically putting all the pads into the same choke group when you convert slices to a drum rack? cheers!

hmm ok so i am reading that simpler puts all the pads into choke group 1 by default, but can't find a way to change this. apparently it can be done from Push...per sample/pad or all at the same time though? Wish it didn't do this by default..
