Hi all

In my current project, one of the instrument slots has gone silent. Everything looks normal, the VU meter shows a signal, but no sound is generated. Reloading the instrument or switching to a different instrument (TRG-16 to Eden, or vice versa) makes no difference.

I have had this problem before with a single TRG-16 buss going silent, but a whole instrument is a different matter! I need all the instruments I can get!

Any help much appreciated.

Are both the mixer and song view meters moving? Does a different preset on the same track make any sound?

Have you checked the mute in the mixer? If it is on the sequencer VU will still be active.

Have you recently upgraded versions? You may have to restore purchases in order to reactivate the IAP of additional tracks.

Oh no! Now I have lost four of my instruments! Does anyone know what is going on?

When instruments go silent it always seems to be ones with high numbers. Currently the silent ones are 12, 13, 14 and 15. I wonder if this is related to the fact that I always keep an empty TRG-16 in slot 15 for checking out samples etc.

Why don't you do an arrangement of John Cage's "Symphony of Silence" .
If you can get your lower instruments to stop working too you'll be all set.

@gmtfd - If you have an example project which demonstrates this problem, you can export it as an nsp and send it to contact@blipinteractive.co.uk for me to look at, assuming it's not too large to email.

How much MB samples have you in your track...i had the same problem with on track when i gone about 120 MB samples. I uses track 1-12...was going to use 13,14...but no sound! But when i tryed to add a sample f.e. on a trg in 1-12 i can hear it! Perhaps a low memory problem?

Well my music does have a lot of space in it ... I like things to be minimal, but not that minimal!

I'm using an iPhone 3GS 16GB running iOS 5. I had this issue before upgrading to iOS 5 though. I don't think it's a memory problem, the project I'm working on only uses 13MB of samples.

Good to know that it isn't just me though, I was wondering if I was the only one...

I've emailed an nsp of the track to Blip as requested.
