Re: Complicated - Oh yes indeed

Andy,
Because pad-songs are sequences, they should always play in time with the currently
selected song tempo. If they don't, then check UT SEQ SETUP/Use Tempo is set to Song
and not Global. Loops are samples and as such, don't have contain any timing information.
I think the only way to get loops in time with the rest of the song is trial and error with
the Pitch setting.

Whilst we're on the subject - another bug (?)
Set the tempo at 100 and record a couple of bars in a user song bank.
Now press the Play button and scroll down by one page.
Here is the setting for the Song tempo during playback (also affects pad-songs)
Start playing the song and then increase the tempo to 200 or 300
Now press the Song button - there's also a tempo setting here! You'll notice it's still
set to 100 even though we already changed the Song tempo. Press the Value+ button once and
the whole song suddenly slows down to 101. It's the old "same setting - different place"
chestnut again. The funny thing here is that altering the tempo setting in the Song menu
affects the tempo setting in the Play menu. They follow each other. But altering the tempo
in the Play menu has no effect on the setting in the Song menu. Weird?

Your pad-song channel frustrations are mentioned in the manual on pg. 21
"The first pad song in the drum kit will be transmitted on the MIDI channel determined by
subtracting 4 from the original channel number"
"The second pad song in the drum kit will be transmitted on the MIDI channel determined by
adding 4 from the original channel number.."

Bye for now....
