Hi,
I'm relatively new to the MPC having bought one off ebay a few years ago and left it gathering dust. However, having acquired some more hardware, I have tried to incorporate it into my setup. The problem I have with it comes when I sync the device with my electribe 2.
I have programmed a beat into the mpc, and synced the machines so that when I hit play on the master, the mpc also plays. However, this tends to work very inconsistently. The settings remain unchanged, so I'm happy it's not a setting issue, but often after a few minutes of playing the mpc will stop playing, and stopping the electribe and hitting play again makes no difference. The mpc still functions at this point if you bash the pads, but no amount of restarting and unplugging/plugging makes any difference.
This is the case even with very basic sequences like a loop on a single pad. Sometimes it plays sounds that are mapped to the electribe pad (if there are any), and sometimes not.
I have searched for solutions, and scanned through the bugs, but haven't seen a solution. Without the midi sync, this machine isn't much use to me. Any advice appreciated.
