Small Sampler window keeps popping up

[Teknolab]

Whenever, in the sequencer, I select a device that can contain samples, that little window pops up and I have to close it or I'll loose an already loaded sample. For the life of me I can't figure out why this is the case, as it is quite annoying within my way of using Reason. Looking at the settings and the help, I can't find a way to prevent this from happening. Am I overlooking something (I hope so…)?

This is a new feature that signals your current samples are not on par with industry standards and that you should replace them

[Teknolab]

Well, that would be paradoxical because I'm using Reason's own Drum Supply.

Can you post a screenshot? I have no idea what you're referring to!

THis should not happened. Did you clicked the button? I always click the wrong button if i want to load a sample...

Just discovered it only happens with my midi control surface on.

So in this example the "Thor 1" was selected. I then clicked at the location of the green dot in the sequencer to select the "Kong 1". Then the Sampler windows pops up and starts recording.

Clean your controller or change the remote control.

I vacuum my controller regularly. No seriously, what do you mean by cleaning? Changing is not an option, I only have 1 midi control surface.

Your kidding was right

Clean it...polish, wipe, groom, hoover...If they are dusty, they can permanently send signals...

Your issue is the MIDI settings or controller you're using - Reason is being sent something to trigger the sample record to activate when you do that (which obviously is not your desired action). Did you do any Remote overrides? Check your MIDI controllers under Reason's Preferences and make sure you don't have a duplicate setup. Does this anomaly occur when your MIDI controller is turned off/not connected?

According to some guide, I coupled my M-Audio Code 61 as a combination of:

"Code61 (midi)"
Model: <Other> MIDI Control Keyboard

and

"Code61 (mackie)"
Model: Mackie Control

The first goes through MIDI input "Code 61". The second one has input "MIDIIN3 (Code 61)". Disabling the second one prevents the problem, but leaves me without controls. I get a warning if for that I also choose "Code 61", although the problem disappears and all seems to work. I ended up choosing "MIDIIN2 (Code 61)". No warning, no sampler window popping up, and all controls and keys seem to work.

Thanks for pointing to the right direction!

Glad you were able to get it working!
