Machinedrum weird behaviour

So I’ve recently bought this Machinedrum but it’s starting doing weird stuff. When I save a kit, it only seems to save the sounds of each machine and wipes the tempo/pattern. Restarting it makes no difference, it keeps the same pattern and tempo no matter which kit I switch to. What is going on?

If you are in extended mode, changing pattern can change which kit is loaded. changing kit will never change which pattern is loaded.
If you are in classic mode, then changing pattern will not change the kit.

On the MD:

  • a kit does not include the pattern; it only includes the machines and their parameters and the effects;
  • the patterns do not store the tempo; tempo is global unless you program tempo changes in a song.

Read about kits and patterns in the manual.
