Please run a simple test for me

…so that I know I’m not crazy. Because I might be crazy.

Create a 1,5,9,13 kick pattern. Now create a 16th hat pattern. Now pull the hat AMP VOL down to zero.

The hat should not sound at all right? Do you hear the hat sneaking in?

#2

I did it. I do not hear the hat with amp volume all the way down. I monitored it fairly loud. I also messed with the delay and reverb send setting to see if I could make it bleed. No go here.

Thanks for testing. Your reply made me dig deeper to figure out the cause and I did indeed figure it out.

I have a regular off beat 3,7,11,15 hat pattern but I also have a ghost hit on the 10 that is plocked to 70. When lowering the AMP VOL for this track, I didn’t realize that this plocked trig was not being lowered accordingly.

Stupid oversight but I’m glad I discovered the issue because it was driving me mad. I have this issue on several patterns.

I will have to figure out a workaround. Maybe I’ll need to set a rising retrig on the 10.

Thanks.

Yeah,

I just got my machine a little while ago. Still learning. I break things all the time that I have to figure out how to fix.

Cheers!

Cant you just use track level instead of the amp vol parameter?

#6

Good question, but no, because I’m using the AMP VOL in my scenes. Scenes do not allow using mutes, track volume or trigs.

I use scenes to progress through my live set. Scene 1 - kick and bass, Scene 2 - kick, bass, clap, Scene 3 - kick, bass, clap, hat, etc.

The only way I can do this is by “muting” all unneeded tracks in Scene 1 by pulling down the AMP VOL or the synth/sample vol. Then in Scene 2, the next added track pulls the AMP VOL back up, etc.
