Weird midi behaviour

Going crazy with this.  I have a midi track feeding BFD.  Worked perfectly before.  Now all the drums (kick, toms, etc) work except for snare hits.  Even snare drags work.  I have checked the following:

- snare not muted in BFD
- correct mapping from PRV to BFD
- when I click on the snare row in PRV, it triggers BFD snare and there is a hit.

Yet when I play the track everything but snare hits play.  What am I doing wrong?

    What does the event look like?

    Could you possible have an audio routing issue - I alter audio output channels all the time on drum cells in Battery 3.

    Just wondering,

    Mun, did you by chance hide a track that may be solo'd or something? Do you see your solo light lit up in the control bar? Any mutes there? Man...I just had this freakin' problem last week, but for the life of me, I can't remember what the heck I did to fix it. I seem to think I hid a track that was solo'd or something. Nah that wouldn't be it...I can't believe I can't remember. I'm so sorry man, if I remember what it was, I'll post back asap.

    No hidden track solo'ed.  In fact BFD, the associated track are solo'ed.  Don't think that a solo'ed track would case this.  Only some notes from the midi file are playing.

    Check that the notes you're entering into the PRV are the same Midi channel as the notes that do trigger properly.

    Also check that the velocity is of a sufficient level to generate a sound.

    Try increasing your midi buffers. I had a similar problem between the step seq and Geist, and that fixed it.

    +1 on the buffers - can't believe we got two responses for this without Fast Biker Boy posting that (he's fast) - hee hee :)

    +1 on buffers.  I used to have SD3 missing drum hits and SI-Bass going silent.

    For me, the missing drum hits were not always in the same places which made me su****ious.  <<s-u-s-p-i-c-i-o-u-s is a bad word?  What the ****?

    Sometimes, you can temporarily fix this by hitting the MIDI Panic Button (looks like a MIDI plug with a diagonal line through it--used to be a screaming face).  This will sometimes get you back working for a while.  If that works, then you can be pretty sure it is a buffer issue.

    It was the midi buffer.  Thanks!
