Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

Wassup, this is my 2nd post of the day im going to chill out after this. Just one quick question.

When i record or just press play with count in enabled, the first 4 ticks come, but then when its supposed to actually start on the 1, there is like half a second delay, it throws me off alot when trying to record drums and stuff.
Almost like its lagging a little like a daw does when you have alot of plugins.

Anyone have a clue why its doing this? Thanks.

You can't, its a limitation of the actual hardware at the time.

What some of us have done is to set the first two bars of a sample to blank, to allow a bit more time for sync. But at the end of the day, you're not ever going to have a 100% clock on the XL.

If you're simply sampling a small drum sequence, then you don't need to sample it for 3 minutes to get the effect. Just sample the bars you want and then sequence them in your DAW and be done with it.

Trust me, don't make your life difficult.
