If you don't set every sample as a "gate" and not "one shot" (as default) and the poly to "MONO" the use of the samples in poly will eat all your polyphony, getting note truncated. The other issue about the stop after a 1 bar is a problem I had too. With the last OS and the mono set you should solve all your problems. bye :) I think it’s not a mute group problem but a polyphony problem.

I had the same problem.... I solved it by turning every sample that was played the same time into monophonic and only the sample I was having the problem turned into polyphonic!!!! I hope it helps!!!! Hi!!!!! I had the same problem….

You have the program set to monophonic, or the sample in the program set to monophonic. if you change to poly then you shouldn't have this probelm........

I have the same problem with my 500, and am wondering if the 128 upgrade will fix the problem. Did you ever upgrade the ram?

The 500 has a 32-voice polyphony and I'm using nowhere near that amount in my demo sequence.
