I got my MIDI-Keyboard (Oxygen8) connected to MIDI-IN and my Analog Synth runs on MIDI-Channel 16. When I record MIDI Notes on a track, the Sounds in the internal Sampler (Pad-Sounds) of the MPC500 always get triggered, too. I didn`t found no way to prevent this.
Just selection of the MIDI channel prevent that notes, which are meant to trigger the samples on the pads from triggering sounds on my synth.
Does anyone has this problem, too?
NOT A BUG.
Changing track type merely changes whether events are shown as midi notes (MIDI) or pad designations (DRUMS) in MODE>STEP EDIT. Every pad has an associated midi note (regardless of whether you are using pads or an external keyboard) and so if you record a sequence (with pads or keyboard), then go to MODE>STEP EDIT, you will see either midi notes or pad designations depending on your track type setting. Flip the track type then see that the event type has changed.
To turn off triggering internal sounds go to MODE>MIDI/SYNC>PAD TO SAMPLER>OFF.
TRACK>PARAMS>MIDI CHANNEL only affects your output to an external module.
By the way, re pad/midi note associations, there are factory defaults, but you can change the defaults (in MODE>MIDI/SYNC) or you can re-assign them per program in MODE>PROGRAM>NOTE ASSIGN.
