Exchange tips and tricks for the Akai MPC4000

Hi,

I understand how to assign a MIDI note for a sample to playback at it's original pitch, but I'm having a problem where regardless of what note it's assigned to, once I've recorded a sample in, the file immediately begins playback in a bit-crushed, low pitched version, and I can't get it to playback correctly no matter where I assign it.

Has anyone ever seen this? I'd really appreciate some advice on this.

This MPC 4000 was bought used, and I've never needed to record samples in until recently (primarily use USB, which is now also acting up...)

Thank you in advance!

Something is up with your programs, pads, mixer settings. Something in there is still telling the dample to play that way. Figure that out.

Like duatymaestro said defaulting the 4k usually fixes this.
