Drum samples ring forever

Post by Dusk Dave »

Hi,

I'm editing a Drum Kit in the Global settings... and something isn't right.

Most sounds are fine but toms and cymbals ring forever. The weird thing is that I have been working on the kick, snare and hi hat so I haven't actually edited any of them and they should be as they were in the preset rock kit that I started with. I have edited kits before but not experienced this issue.

The same thing happens when I use the program that the kit is linked to. I haven't messed with any of the samples or oscillators. I disconnected all midi and foot pedals and rebooted but the problem persists. Other factory preset kits work as they should.

Any ideas? Does the group that the sound belongs to have any bearing on this?

UPDATE: This happens on all the drum kits not just the one I have edited. It also seems to be related to the sample as the D# Ride cymbal sometimes rings and sometimes doesn't depending on which sample is being used.

Drum Kit programs still work normally. Has something got corrupted somewhere?

UPDATE 2: I basically saved everything, reinitialized the Kross and reloaded and it seems to have fixed it. Would still be interested to hear what could have caused it.

UPDATE 3: After loading a .SNG file the problem came back. Further investigation needed :(

OK, the .SNG file was a false flag.

I reinitialized, loaded the programs and drum kits and edited one again from scratch.

I've added some 2nd samples to kick and snares with cross fade settings, copied some key setups to other keys (not the problem ones) and at some point the ringing issue has just materialized.

Anyone got any clues as to what it might be before it goes in the bin? Is there a manufacturer guarantee on the Kross2?

Hi,

As usual the answer is quite simple... All I had to do was save the program linked to the kit as a DRM/SFX type and the ringing stopped. I won't forget that in a hurry.

Solution posted in the hope that my agitation, anger and stupidity can be channeled to help someone else in the future.
