I made a video that explains my question;
Whoever made that template changed the Pad names from notes to things like "Kick", "Snare", etc... so renaming them to notes no longer works....
You have to go to the Assign menu and select the right one note, that's all... I assume.
To be clear, i am in midi mode.
Sorry about the sniffing in the video; i have a touch of the old Corona :)
