First gig out with 3.0. Samples worked in headphones but would not play through main outs. Any thoughts?
This is on Prime 4. Channel 4 fader all the way up.

What hardware did you use? Prime 4 routes sample to channel 4.

I see you edited your post …
Do you get output for a regular track on channel 4? Checked crossfader? Do you see the channel LEDs light up when you play a sample?

OK problem solved and my own dumb fault. The gig was an outdoor event and I was in the sun making anything hard to see and it appears my channel 4 had been switched to Line In when I got it out of its case. Something I’ve never done, but the day I wanted to use the new sampler boom, I did it. 🙃
When I got home tonight I noticed my FX lights weren’t lit, which lead me to check the line switch. So all my fault and sampler working as it should!
Thanks for trying to held Addie!
