I'm having weird behavior on my Push where the pads stay in Major C "In Key" scale mode while in the User Mode. This means I am unable to play any "black keys" from the pads.
Here are the steps I'm doing. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
- - In the preferences, I enabled the track switches for the input and output of the Push User Port.
- I created an track in Session Mode and set the MIDI To and MIDI From to the Push User Port.
- I put the Push in User Mode.
- When I press the pads, I expect the I/O routing to cause the pad to light up, but instead, a pad different from the one pressed lights up.
- I created an empty clip and recorded as I played all the pads.
- I look at the piano roll and see what is happening: no matter which pad I pressed, only the white notes are getting recorded in the piano roll. WTH?
As an experiment, I created an 8-bar clip where each note plays for 1/8 up through every note from C1 to D#6. As expected, each pad lights up sequentially from left to right and from bottom to top starting with the bottom left corner and ending at the upper right.
I have tried going back into Push Mode, changing the Scale, In Key, Chromatic, Fixed, 4th, 3rd, Sequent settings, etc. When I go back to User Mode, it has no effect—the pads continue to play as if I had Major C "In Key" scale mode selected.
Even weirder, if I go into Live Mode and add a drum rack to the track, when I switch into User Mode, only the lower left 4x4 grid generates MIDI note events. If I look on the piano roll, I see that all the other pads don't cause the note to be highlighted. I didn't think what you had selected in Live mode should have any effect on what happens in User Mode. Is my Push broken, in need of a firmware update, or am I misunderstanding how this whole User Mode really works?
Help?
