Bass drum is a flute sound now?

My bass drum has a flute sound now. I quit Dorico and restarted, but still.I don’t do anything advanced with sounds, I just use the playback template for NotePerformer.

And why is it that I suddenly have to use that Template option often when I reopen an project? This “auto” template function seems to do more harm than good when you’re (like me) more a musician then a technician. Can I disable this? I just want to use NotePerformer for the rest of my life.

Have you set NotePerformer as the default playback template in preferences, and left the Auto box unchecked?

Thank you! That last respond was helpful. That solved the “auto”-issue! I’m very sorry that all this really is too advanced for me to find out by myself. Thanks for the help. My two kickdrums are still flute sounds, any thoughts about that? I didn’t do anything regarding sounds because I really have no idea how to do that. It just happened.

Usually simply reapplying a playback template will solve these problems.
Try going to Play>Playback template… selecting NotePerformer and hitting Apply & Close.

What this does is to clear out all the current sounds and reload everything according to the chosen template.

I did that, several times, also after quitting Dorico and restarting. The two kickdrums stay fluetes. They weren’t flutes before. Is this another bug?

Could you upload the file so we can investigate?

Ah okay, so prf2002 was wrong. It is a bug. Thank you, I will do this everytime it happens!

Is there any way to solve this problem, other than everytime changing the sound back and forth? It happens every time now, with both kick drum sounds…

Any news about this? It’s taking me an awful lot of time, almost every time I reopen the file it is a flute sound again and I have to do this routine. Anyone has a more permanent solution?
