Please! Help!! PLEASE!! My MPC is unwell....

Hi,

I have a serious concern for my MPC2kxl. I don't have an fx board or 8 outs...the only upgrage i have is the full memory expansion......

When I play a beat and go to S:Drum1 : OFF on the main screen and change it to
S:Drum1: 1A or 2A etc....my MPC completely crashes out and makes horrible noises...before freezing up...and not doing anything without turning it off.

I don't have a full knowledge of what the S:Drum1 field is for and the only reason i noticed this happening is when I bought the EB16 and I started playing around with this field and it happened. I thought the card was faulty and sent it back....but now I've got my doubts...I think my MPC maybe faulty.

I got my MPC ex repair from Digital Village nearly a year ago...and when I got the MPC I instantly noticed that there was a fault with pads 10 & 11, they cannot be seperated...they both play the same sample....I tried reinstalling the OS etc and it didnt help.....

I only had 3 months warranty and that had ran out before I started really wishing I had sent it back to get the pads fixed....now I am really regretting it...

I can work around the pad thing....but the S:Drum crashing out thing is starting to get really scary....because I am just about to buy another EB16

Does anyone have any advice for me? I really need it right now...

Is this a serious fault? should I get in touch with Digital Village or just cut my losses and look for a place to get it repaired....such as www.panicmusic.co.uk or something???

HELP!!!! Any advice would be much appreciated....

Bless,

i dunno about the problem itself but the 1A, 2A field sets the midi output for that channel..

what what the f u c k is the S and M on the track

Scsi and Midi??

clear up for me pls

^ it's for recording multiple midi channels at once - S for single, M for multiple. basically allows you to set which midi channel is recorded to which mpc track..

Try this...
Go to the Drum1 where it says off,1a,2a etc. highlight the 1a area and press open window.
Midi output will come up and "as track" should be highlighted,change it to "Off" This should fix your problem.
