Grid Editor not holding custom changes

[Billy Dreskin]

Hi. New to SD3. Trying to customize a groove in the Grid Editor but when I click Play no new sounds are heard, and as soon as I click away from it, all changes disappear. What am I missing?

Thanks in advance!

Hm, sounds strange. Are you using the latest version of SD3 – v 3.1.2?

If you right click on the track to add an empty block, then go into Grid Editor and draw some notes with the Add tool – are those notes played?

Hi. Thanks for responding.

Yes, I’m using version 3.1.2. Per your suggestion, I added an empty block, drew in some notes … all worked fine. I then went to the block in question, drew in some notes … all worked fine.

Okay, so I just tried copying and pasting again, and it works! Dunno what happened yesterday. I’d rebooted and the problem persisted. Oh well. It’s a new day.

If you have any suggestions for copying notes from one block and pasting them into another (other than just do it), I’d appreciate it.

Thanks,
Billy

You can also right click a song block on the song track and select Copy. Right click another block and Paste the instrument notes you want. Does that solve your issue?

Hey guys. It seems our experience is the same. We recorded 7 acoustic drum tracks in the bedroom, converted the DAW tracks into mp3 files, dragged those 7 files into Tracker (Screen shot 1), tidied up the sounds with Sound Recognition to get what we were happy with, clicked export (Screen shot 2) and then felt we needed to quantize/fix some timing issues and also add some extra kick hits in a few places.

To do this we clicked on View>Edit Play Style and then clicked on Grid Editor (Screen shot 3) and made/added the changes but where to from here?

We cannot seem to find any way to move or update the export midi file we originally got from Tracker to reflect the changes. What have we missed?

NB. Once we click out of the Grid Editor our changes are also lost (x3)  ;-(
