Very newbie question MK3

Maschine community,
So I got my MK 3 controller yesterday and it took a number of hours to download all the different kits and instruments and software. Today everything is loaded and I watch the first Native Instrument tutorial on how to find and load my sounds. I can find them and even load them as the tutorial shows - but once loaded the controller in the videos pads all light up, and the kit is loaded to each of the 16 pads. When I load my sounds and have Pad Mode selected - only the bottom left pad plays the sound - none of the other pads play anything and are not lit up. See my picture below. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

 

You're loading an Instrument. If you want sounds on every pad, load a Group, and then a Drum Kit.. Instruments load to a single pad, and then you can hit the Keyboard Mode button to play the sound across all 16 pads (or Chord Mode, to do similar).

 

Thank You - that was what I was doing incorrect

 

Before proceeding, download NI's excellent guides.
And start with the Getting started version.
Then a world opens up for you.

No worries. It's no secret that with certain things, Maschine has a massive learning curve, haha. Youtubers-- Jef Gibbons, Maschine Tutorials, Maschine Masters, Knock Squared, Andrew Chelmann / ADSR, etc. Hope that helps!
