Step Sequencer cuts samples

[Péter Mocsonoky]

Hi All,

 

I would like to use the step sequencer with a drum machine. I've loaded a kick drum but the sequencer cuts the sample.  The duration is at 100 still it only plays the first part of the sample. 

How can I make it play the complete kick drum sample? 

Thanks!!

A hardware drum machine? Whether hardware or software, a drum synth should play the full length of a one-shot sample regardless of when the sequencer sends  a note off. If you trigger the sample from the drum synth's interface, does it play out?  Any chance the note number of the kick sample (or the synth channel hosting it) is part of a choke group with some other sample being played soon after it?

It does play out from the drum synth and I did not create a choke group.  I've tried with different drum machines and the sequencer do the same thing with all of them.

Hmmm... somethings's not right, but I'm not sure what. I just double-checked using Session Drummer with a long sample loaded into the kick, and with a long-ringing cymbal in a hardware synth, and both play samples well past the end of the triggering cell in Step Sequencer. Even turning the duration down to zero had no effect, which is expected since a drum synth pays no attention to the note-off as I said.

At last I did the drums in Piano roll mode. Everything is fine there. It just would be easier in Step sequencer.  I still don't know what could be the problem.

I'm curious to know whether the issue reproduces with Session Drummer or TTS-1 or SI Drums in your environment.

I've tried with the SI Drums and worked just fine. After that I was curious and take another try with the drum machine again. Now that works fine too... I can' imagine what could I misconfigured. Anyway I don't know how but it works now.  Thanks for your effort David!
