Hi All,
My MPC4000 has had its first hardware problem. The column of pads that are 14,10, 6 and 2 do not register when tapped.
I load a sequence that uses many tracks.
Turned on the track mute screen.
I can see that the column of pads I mentioned do not activate upon touch.
Restarted the unit
Tried to load a sample to those pads
unresponsive
I checked the pad sensitivity setting for all of the pads and they look normal.
Now here is the back-story. I rarely use my MPC4000 pads. In fact, I only use them to register where to put a sample.to I always play an attached midi keyboard or my Boss DR880 pads when I make music. I have never dropped my MPC4000. I have never rested anything on the pads.
Has this ever happened to your unit?
If so, can I fix it myself or do I need to order a new part?
I am handy enough to add a new pad sensor. Just hoping that is not necessary.
I blame Trump and Theresa May. lol
Cheers,
Ian
