I’m having issues with dragging MIDI drum patterns from Groove Agent SE6 to an instrument track in Cubase Elements 14.
For some reason the kick drum sounds in some parts disappear when I play the track in Cubase. When I drag a fill of one bar’s lenght using the icon on the photo in some cases the sound is gone but I can still see the MIDI signal in the track.
There could be a couple of different reasons, depending on the details of what you’re doing.
What instrument is the exported MIDI triggering?
is it the same Groove Agent SE instrument track that you exported from?
if yes: is the Groove Agent still automatically playing the pattern while also playing the exported MIDI? If yes, that can lead to weirdness like you described.
or is it a different drum instrument track with a different drum plugin or another Groove Agent track with a different Groove Agent kit loaded?
if yes, then maybe the new kit doesn’t have a kick drum for that MIDI note in the exported pattern. - It’s quite common for many kits to have more than one kick drum - triggering on different MIDI notes. If the new kit doesn’t have kick drums on all of the same notes as the original kit, you could experience missing kick drum hits in this scenario.
This could be it. I have had Groove Agent open while simultaneously playing the track in Cubase after having dragged it from Groove Agent. Should I close Groove Agent completely and then play the track in Cubase?
I forgot to mention that after converting the MIDI to audio in Cubase the sound of the kick drum still is gone. It is always kick drum sounds.
I dragged this particular pattern into bar 18 in the Cubase track and the second kick drum hit was gone. The pattern in Groove Agent wasn’t playing at the time.
