Logic Pro: Drum Machine Designer instruments mysteriously disappear?
Hi there!
I had several Drum Machine Designer tracks in a project, each of which had been converted to midi regions and was working perfectly fine. When I reopened the project just a few minutes later, almost all of the individual samples within the tracks were missing. The midi notes were still there, and were still triggering the pad interface in Drum Machine Designer, but when I clicked on an individual sound (such as "Snare 4"), the Pad Controls interface below it would be completely empty! (See attached image.) I was able to essentially get the sounds back, by clicking on a different sound in the Drum Library, and then clicking back on the original sound. But I had to do that for each individual sound, on multiple Drummer Midi tracks ... ! And I haven't verified it yet, but I suspect all of the editing I did through the Pad Controls interface is lost.
Also weirdly, one sound ("Perc") in this particular drum track, which I had muted anyway, was perfectly fine and appearing normal. That's strange.
Has anybody experienced something similar where the individual drum sounds essentially just disconnect themselves from the Drum Machine Designer? And is there an easier fix than manually connecting them all back up? Thank you for your advice!
