Kit issues - AR loading default or other sound

hey community,

its really frustrating its happening to me know the second time in one day and happened several times before and its unpredictable and destroys whole kits!
i finish a pattern and a kit, i save it and switch to a new pattern and before i start with the new kit ofcourse i choose a new kit to edit i start tweeking the sounnds and pattern of the next kit i save it turn the device off and later back on finish the second kit and save it.
After finishing the second pattern/kit i go back to the previous pattern/kit and realise that the AR set the KIT sounds to default sounds and overwrite it when i saved the project after finishing the second kit. This is horrible! All the sounds of the previous kit are gone and i dont even have a chance to realise this because i m not even using that kit that gets reset to default.

Does anybody know how to fix this problem? It messed up a lot of kits now and my liveset is not performable anymore!

Hi, welcome :grinning: you have to describe a little more precise how/when you save the kit, the pattern, the sounds and how / what you reload. I am not aware of such a bug and it may be user error/ misunderstanding the complex kit pattern project structure.

Maybe you can try (in a new project) to alter a kit, then save and reload it and see if it still happens?

The problem is expectations … it’s up to you to save the kits explicitly, the AR has one working Kit buffer iirc. This is well discussed as a rights of passage thing, but you have to understand the workflow and architecture. Saving a project is not likely what you expect either, you need to save kits yourself.

I never encountered any problem when I actually saved my kits. Make changes that you wish to keep - Yes + Kit, et voilà…

Mine takes a long time to update all the sounds in a kit, especially the samples. For example, when I load a new project, it plays the new project with the previous project’s sounds/kit. It takes around 20-40 seconds (depends on the samples etc.). There is also a little loading animation.

Have you ruled that out?

Your problem sounds more like a software or operating problem to me and might be known to other users as well (imho).
