Doesn't remember MIDI channel

I connected the Volca Keys synthesizer to Play.
I selected several tracks, pressed FILL and got a pattern.
Then, using FILL, I changed the pattern to another one. No sound. I started looking for the problem. It turned out that when changing, the MIDI channel is reset to the first by default every time.
Although I used channel №2.
Through the settings, I could not save channel No2, it was still reset to the first.

Hi, the fill will be made using whatever MIDI channel has been selected last, I think? Have you tried to select the MIDI channel first, and then do the fills?

MIDI channels are not defined in the settings. You use the “Sample” knob to select them.

I have to choose a channel every time!

Every time you turn on your Play, just like you need to choose a sample every time you boot your Play. Otherwise, I believe the last option is remembered across a session.

The fact of the matter is that the channel changes during the work process. If I change the FILL setting

Correct. There is a Fill Config menu in Settings that changes the channel for all fills, so you can set the channel you want to use for Fills there. Default is Jack Channel 1.
