Re: reloaded factory preloads, drum kits wrong?**SOLVED**

Post by FredL61 »

I accidentally deleted the factory 00 setlist, so I went into Disk and tapped Factory>open >Preload>setlists>load and OK
They came back, but now if I use "drum" in the Karma section it plays oddball Drum kits and random notes instead of a normal kit with extras. How can I get back appropriate drum kits to the factory set-list preloads? they used to work fine, but now it is all wacky weird tuned chimes etc and I don't see where to restore the original pairings of drum to preload. Thanks for any help in advance!

Just a guess, but go to Global mode, P0 Basic Setup, and confirm that under "Load KARMA settings when changing" that you have selected both ✓ Program and ✓ Combination.

Thanks! I'll check that! ***Edit*** I checked they are both checked.

On itself, Setlist doesn't modify Programs. But we can use the Edit Program/Combi command on Page Menu. So if you used a modified Drum Kit based Program from your initial Setlist, without "Write" it, when you've reloaded the Setlist, it would use the initial Drum prog and won't take what you did into account.

So the question is : did you use an orignal Drum Kit Program or a modified one ?

I'm not sure I understand how I would I would have used a "modified drum kit based program" when I reloaded the preload setlist. Every instrument was the same piano after I accidentally deleted the 00 setlist, and I don't remember loading any drum kits at all, not intentionally anyway. just loaded the setlist.
Is there a way to put everything back to "out of the box" that doesn't require CDs?, I don't have them.

Yes, just load the PRELOAD.PCG file in the FACTORY folder on your SSD.

Hi there, The drum kits got moved around with the Version 3 update, so it might have something to do with that. What version OS are you running? You can download the latest OS at this link. You don't need any CD's to install.

Thank you so much. That did it.
Thanks also to all folks that replied, you've encouraged me to get more comfortable "under the hood"
