Issue/Bug When Duplicating Sampler Tracks Cubase 15

Hi All,

I’m running the latest version of Cubase 15.

There’s an issue when duplicating ‘Sampler Tracks’

After duplicating the sampler track I change the sample to a new one, but it always reverts back to the original sample?

I duplicate sampler tracks because I want to keep the same plugins and routing but change the sound/sample.

Sometimes it might work if you duplicate it one time and change the sample, however if you duplicate it numerous times the sample always reverts back to the original.

Is anyone else having this issue? I’ve been doing this for years with all previous versions of Cubase and never had a problem. I have no idea why it’s happening in Cubase 15 or how to fix it. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Sean

Hi and welcome to the forum,

I cannot replicate the issue you described.

  • I have a Sample Track A with sample X.
  • Right-click the Sample Track A > Duplicate Track.
  • Sample Track B with sample X has been created.
  • Drag-and-drop sample Y over to the Sample Control of track B.
    → Sample Track A is using sample X and Sample Track B is using sample Y, as expected.

Cubase 15.0.6.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your help.

Can you try duplicating Track A again, and add another sample. Also duplicate Track B and add another sample. Now, We should have Track A, B, C, D. All with different samples.

However, for me, the samples keep reverting back to the original in Track A.

Let me know how you go.

Thanks

Hi,

Oh, now I can replicate it.

  • I have a Sample Track A with sample X.
  • Right-click the Sample Track A > Duplicate Track.
  • Sample Track B with sample X has been created.
  • Drag-and-drop sample Y over to the Sample Control of track B.
    → Sample Track A is using sample X and Sample Track B is using sample Y, as expected.
  • Right-click the Sample Track A > Duplicate Track.
  • Sample Track C with sample X has been created.
    => Sample Track B contains sample X instead of Y.

Reported to Steinberg.

Hey Martin,

Thanks so much for your help, this was driving me crazy.

Hopefully they make a fix for this.

Thanks again

Hi Martin,

Do you know if this bug was fixed in the latest update? I cant see it anywhere in the release notes.

Thanks

Hi,

Unfortunately, this bug wasn’t fixed in Cubase 15.0.10.

Hey Martin,

Thanks for letting me know.

Hi Martin,

Do you know if the bug was fixed in the latest update?

Thanks

Hi,

Unfortunately it has not been fixed for Cubase 15.0.20.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for letting me know. Hopefully on the next one.

This is a really incredibly annoying bug. Is there any update on when this will be resolved?

Many times I’ve created new sampler tracks via duplicating, only to find the original sampler track is then completely messed up. Feels like such basic functionality to leave broken for this long.

Sorry to bump this thread but I’d really appreciate an update. Hoping we can get someone’s attention.

As someone that deals mostly in samples, this is a critical bug that has caused me so many issues in recent projects to the point where Cubase is basically unusable.

I know how you feel man, I’ve been having issues with this since December last year.

Unfortunately it has not been fixed for Cubase 15.0.30.

Yeah this is ridiculous!

I had hope when I saw there was a Sampler Track bug fixed in 15.0.30, but it didn’t seem to resolve this issue. Wild.

I’m surprised this hasn’t been fixed yet. It seems like a serious issue that duplicating a Sampler track can mess everything up. Is there any update on this?

Yeah man, the update is, there is no update. Its crazy.
