I am now getting these pop up messages that state that my current drum kit has no bass drum assigned, followed by no snare drum assigned, followed by no closed hi hat assigned.

This just seemed to randomly start a day or so ago.

Even after adding real drums I still get these pop up messages.

Any one have any ideas as to why?

What version and build of BIAB are you running?

Further to Matt's questions, does it do this on all songs, some songs, only MIDI songs?

Does it do this after you press Play, or after you load the song, or after you make some other change?

Are you using an external MIDI device or internal?

After you changed to RealDrums did you regenerate before you got the message?

More information obviously helps reduce the guesswork that others need to make to assist you.

After you changed to RealDrums did you regenerate before you got the message? Yes I did and it still does it each time.

Tony, thanks for the info. I assume you are on build 431.

You didn't say if the drums all play OK. Is your post about that, or is it just that you get the annoying messages?

With real drums they play ok, however it seems that theres no count etc without real drums.

I'll have to do a little more experimenting to see how it all shakes out.

Sounds like a plan. If it happens again, take a few screen captures; might help PG Music Support.

Ok so it seems that after the update from the other day, week whatever...lol

That the midi setup that I fought for weeks to get working was blown away by the update. Thank fully I remembered what it was and got it back.

So the issue was there was no synthesizer sound card selected in the midi audio setup.

Once that was done the problem went away.

Thanks
