Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

Hey all,
Here's a tricky one that's doing my head in...
I'm using a multitrack midi setup on my MPC2kxl, which worked great, until a couple of weeks ago something really weird happened - My internal MPC drum sounds started triggering from external keyboard and controllers, even tho' all the right channels are set to MIDI.

So, I'm playing a bassline on track 1, which is set to midi channel 1, and DRUM is off. I look at midi monitor and MIDI is coming in on track 1, but DRUM 1 is being triggered along with the bassline. Not only that, but I have a Kenton control freak fader box that does volume fades on, say track 3 channel 3, which also fades volume on DRUM 1 ... grrr!

Now I've triple-checked to see if DRUM 1 is set somewhere else to midi channel 1 or 3 or anything else in my sequence, and it's not, so what the &^%?

I'm getting desperate, anyone seen or heard of this before?
Thanks

Can you explain your setup more in detail? What is connected to what throughout the entire chain?

Also, when you say 'playing a bassline on track 1'...are you using the pads or an external kybd? Are you playing a 'bassline' with samples on the mpc, or to an external module?
