synth midi problem

I'm trying to use my KS4 to program some drum patterns in
Logic, the problem is that when I have 2 or more events in
the same position on the grid only 1 sound plays, the others
are silent, like it's monophonic. I'm using 4 parts on the
synth on different channels, so i have some ambient pads and
bass playing fine as polyphonic, it's just the drums, i just
can't see why, any ideas?

drums use "noise" which is all the frequencies at once so
its like 128 polyphonic voices all going so maybe ur
overloading ur synth

solution is obv. that wavephace needs to stop being a
fucking psychic fatass; slim out, the pressure will relieve,
and your polyphony will fill out like the inverse of
jnasato's earfox.

Is the midi-channel for the drums set to 10? That might be
the issue - a lot of synth (most actually) only play
drum-sounds through channel 10.

Is it something to do with each drum sound on the KS4 being
a separate part? Each part has its own MIDI channel on the
KS4 I think.

There are 4 parts (sound engines) in performance mode and
it seems to only allow midi channels 1 to 4

I have no idea what my earfox is, but um... perhaps that
could be something?

But this is like the shittiest advice I could give:
I imagine you already know of selecting MIDI outs on synths
and choosing same MIDI ins in Logic, so..... The
"monophonic sounds" issue-- the drum samples from hardware
aren't necessarily going to trigger the same notes in
Logic-- sometimes hardware will jump around on the "piano
roll" even when triggering the next note. So perhaps the
note is being recorded, but it's somewhere waaay up or down
in Logic-- somewhere where there is no sample to be
triggered by the drum plugin. The way to test this would be
to hit the keys on your synth to make sure you're getting a
sample played back in Logic. If this is the case and it's
too much of a pain to move notes after the fact, it is
possible to select which notes go to which notes in Logic's
routing, but it's the deep routing that's been hidden from
like 8 years ago.

If the monophonic thing is happening from playback within
Logic after the MIDI notes have been recorded, then the
problem is within Logic. Possibly fudged the output
settings when setting MIDI ins.

If I hit the keys on the synth at the same time it works ,
so it seems to be an issue with logic or the midi interface

i misread the original question as a joke question, and so i
just wrote some silly nonsense. for that, i am sorry. i
can't ever undo it. xltronic ruined
