Combine percussion players to a kit => mixer lane missing

Hi! :slight_smile:

When you combine instruments to a kit that have initially been split among multiple players, the mixer drops the lanes for the single instruments and no new lane for the new kit is being created.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start with empty document
  2. Add new player (snare drum)
  3. Add new player (bass drum)
    => Result: Mixer has separate lanes for snare drum and bass drum.
  4. Move bass drum instrument to snare drum player (drag & drop)
  5. Select “Make into kit” (“Instrumente zu Kit kombinieren” in German)
    => The lanes for snare drum and bass drum disappear from the mixer, but no new lane for the kit is being created.

I hope this helps,
Estigy

Yes, we’re aware of this issue. In the meantime, you should find that closing and reopening the project is sufficient to get the Mixer display as expected.

Hi, Daniel!

Great to read that you already know about this.
One small thing, though: When you reopen such a document, the mixer lane is being created, but it seems disconnected from the player. The mixer does not have any influence whatsoever on the loudness of the percussion kit.The Solo and Mute buttons are also not functional on this lane.
