drum editor is driving me crazy, loop assignment changes

Post by patshep »

if i select a MIDI area of drum notes, and try to open the drum editor, it does not show the highlighted notes, it is driving me crazy... this never happened before, are my preferences off?? anybody else having this issue? MIDI editing used to be so easy....

also every time i highlight an area the begin repeat and end repeat indicators just move around as i select and pick a new area to loop... What the heck? is dp8 bug ridden? or am i stupid..

i will gladly read the manual if someone can explain where to read, lol... i'm a musician not a producer/engineer, as you probably guessed... thanks

Sounds like Link Selection to Memory is turned on (that's the M with an arrow pointing to 11 o'clock in the Control Panel).
