Hello,

What MIDI driver are you using in PowerTracks (Options - MIDI Devices)? What is Windows Media Player using? (if Windows XP, usually will use the MIDI playback device selected in Control Panel | Sounds and Audio Devices). It sounds like the synth you are using in PT doesn't have those drum sounds. Find out some examples of notes (e.g. C4, Eb3...) that don't play. To do this, you can look at drum track notation window, and right-click on a note in editable notation mode.



Everything was using MIDI Mapper - MS Wavetable Synth. I still don't know what the problem was, but I did just find a quick and easy fix. Here's a posting I sent back to PG support:

I just found a simple workaround to the "missing-drum beats" issue that we have been corresponding about.

Edit->Quantize->(Check/select) Durations->set resolution to 32nd (as small as possible?)

The file finally played back perfectly in PT, and I'm just happy that PT had a feature that simply addressed and remedied the problem, because a lot of it's other features have proved invaluable to me and my band mates.

Thanks again for hanging in there with me.



Sincerely,

Stan

P.S.: I just duration-quantized the GM drum track (Ch10). Very quick and easy to do when the file is first loaded/reloaded. Naturally, you have to save it after the quantize.
