Hey guys! I've been having a somewhat mysterious problem with melodic sequencing on my MPC 1000 running JJOS1 version 5. I've looked everywhere and have only found one unresolved reference to the same issue. Hopefully you guys can help me out.
Here is a simple diagram of my MIDI chain:
Keystep --> MPC --> Electribe 2 and/or Soulsby Atmegatron (synth module)
Pretty simple chain. So here's what happens:
1. I record a sequence to the MPC using the keystep which triggers the external synth as it should.
2. Once the recording is finished I hit the record button to disable recording.
3. The sequence plays for a little while without issue.
4. Eventually the MPC spits out a "Note On" message to F#0 (I think) on the external synth.
5. I press stop once. The sequence stops but this unwanted note doesn't get the memo and keeps playing.
6. The note continues on forever until I hit stop 3 times fast.
As far as I can tell this issue only happens when 4 notes or more are played on the external synth's track. I've messed around with the midi settings quite a bit and haven't been able to pinpoint the origin of the issue. If I had to guess I'd say it's a software problem but I updated the OS from 4.98 to 5.0 and it still does it. Could it be a hardware issue? I'm quite new to the MPC world and might be unaware of some obscure setting I've neglected but as far as I can tell there isn't a setting that says "don't send out an awful endless drone." Any advice?
