Hello everyone,

I'm experiencing some weird playback problems with the tremolo percussion rolls. I've attached the triple slashed roll (shortcut 8 in the articulation tool). Whenever I playback the file, it plays the marimba note that I've written - D just below the treble stave - as an Ab one and a half octaves lower. This is quite strange! Is there a way that I can solve this?

I realise that it is probably an issue with Human Playback (??), however is there a way I can fix it without turning off Human Playback? It's just that I like what it's doing with lots of the other things I've written into the score, ie. with my rits and dynamics, and tempo changes etc.

Thanks for your help as always!

Regards,
Andrew Harrison

Since I get proper playback with the scenario you describe, it might be caused by something on your system. Or, it could be specific to your file. I suppose if you had a sample for us to test, we could see if it behaves the same for us.

Thanks Zuill. I think I will send something through. I've tried creating a new document (in both F14 and 14.5) and then doing an Insert Measure Stack, and the same thing happens. It's very odd! I've attached the file below. You'll hear it in bar 19 - 21 in the marimba.
