Ims-20, sound in drumpad abruptly stops!

Post by Jimboeh »

Hi again!

Just a short (maybe not!) question here;

I was playing around with my nanokey in the "synth" with a modulated bass-sound and suddenly I found it, the perfect lead (think a simple version of the starting bass in Autechres "Rsdio")!

I saved the sound preset for future use, and today was the day!
But when I load this preset in one drumchannel it doesn't really sound the same!
When in "synth-mode" the sound pans out just fine without any interruptions, but when I trigger it in the drumchannel it starts up fine, just to suddenly go quiet when its nearing the end of the triggered notes cutoff (it really sounds bad)!

What am I doing wrong here?
I'm using the same effects (reverb 2) and I havn't changed anything in the "sound edit".
The thing is I really want to keep the "synth-part" (thats why I want my Autechre-bass in the drum-channel!) for another preset so I can play it "live" over the whole song.

Is there some things you cannot trigger in the drum-channels or what am I missing?
- I'm surfing on the Sine Waves'

The main thing you can't do in drum parts is complex automation beyond notes, pan, vol, etc. As long as you aren't relying on the Parameter or Voltage automations then you're fine.

My guess is the note length isn't long enough in your sequencer. Play around with setting the notes to 100% and/or Legato and see if that makes any difference.

You mention you were expecting a Pan effect. This is one of the things that you can sequence, but you may not have noticed if you are working from someone else's patch. You'll find Pan automation by hitting the Vol/Pan button in the top left of the Drum Sequencer.
