Perhaps your "broken" NV slider just needs a cleaning!

Thank yu cooocooo1, I really was ol school on this one... (***coughhhhhhhhhhhhh***)

thanks man, i did this, and it worked perfect for me too.

U trim with the slider??? how do u do that?

See? The manual is not completely useless. Imagine using the MPC for years and only now discovering slider trimming. It's the best thing about the slider!

That's why I don't understand why Akai didn't implement it on the MPC1000; it has two sliders so they could do start and end points, whithout shift. Can't believe they missed that.

yo can you post that pic again please i cant see it.

i know this is an old thread...but i just used the search function and am going through the process of fixing my slider....does anyone have the pictures that were posted?...they arent showing up anymore on this thread

The pix would help a lot...so i know what i'm supposed to be looking for..

Thanks

ok i just did this...and i still have the same problem....nothing worked for me....
this is what has been and what STILL is happening

I load up a sound, and assign the slider to change the tuning......if i put the slider all the way up, and then hit the pad 3 times,
-the 1st hit - the sound is normal (no variation)
-the 2nd hit, the sound is altered (recognizes variation)
-3rd hit - no matter what i do to the slider, it stays at the same tuning as the second hit

did i make that clear?.....

has anyone ever heard of this problem?

I really think it is more trouble to spend couple hours to fix a $5 slider than it is to replace it.

good for you

i highly doubt its $5 to fix......and i happen to disagree with you

"i highly doubt its $5 to fix......and i happen to disagree with you"

The slider can be bought for $5 at mouser.com, therefore, I can replace it for $5.

That's the problem I have with mine. The sh*t don't change once the sound is altered.

thats crazy..... why was i never told this before? where is it at on there??
If i would have known it was that cheap i probably would have done that....
good lookin out on the info mpc3000...and sorry for comin off at you sideways...i guess i was expecting someone to give me a clearer response or something a little more informative...and you're right.. i spent a long ass time takin this apart, now i wish i would have just replaced it...

But im stull not sure if thats the problem or not...how do i know it isnt something else?....how hard is it to REPLACE the slider?....and what pieces do you get?...is it just the actual metal piece that slides?


@RonDu

Have you been able to figure out why its doing it?....i havent dont a lof of reasearch...i just kinda work around the problem , but it would be good to someday get it working

Nah. I don't know what the problem is. I guess I don't have a need to use it so I'm like "f*ck it"
