My Sequence just f*ed up !!! A BUG ? - serious Problem !!!

Man, I just can't believe it.


I was working on a beat and suddenly (as I'm recording some percussion on one track) my sequence is "kinda" LOST.

It's really strange - because everything is still there - BUT it just won't play it correctly.

I immidiately pushed the undo button and thought maybe something was just effed up when recording.


BUT it STILL doesn't work.

It's a 8 bar beat and it just plays the first half bar then NO SOUND - BUT the sequence still running!

What the F*CK is this?

I'm really p*ssed of because there are a few hours of work gone.

I immidiately saved my sequence and tried to switch the mpc on and off - and then reload the sequence - BUT it's still there.

and the funny thing is - I have a few other sequences in that "song".

ALL work fine - EXCEPT this one.

I really need some HELP.

Hours of work are gone !!!

I'm really lost. (BTW, this is the second time - that this BUG occurs to me - BUT the first time after recording the track - the undo button did the trick - this time no luck.)

Check the mutes are turned off on all the tracks.

This has happened to me as well. Checked everything and still screwed up. In the same way as above......This is a definite BUG!!!

There are no mutes !!!


I double-checked everything !



I even turned the fx, all filter and lfo settings off - NOTHING !!!


It still doesn't work.

I had the same problem , i still have the song on my CF card and if i load it , the problem is still there.

I was messing with the filter-envelope when this happened.

I don't know if it's still up , but here's a link to an mp3 showing the problem.

me aswell..,. on a 4 bar loop it simply misses the last section eg the last half a bar! but that is on one track, and now it still happens...
eeek.

i just toggled the loop button on/off, and now it records without a hitch, might be worth bearing that in mind next time it happens (not saying thats the cure.... but might be!)

That was also one of the things I've tried almost immediately - but it didn't make a difference - unfortunately.

it is weird, say i sequence 4 bars and copy it till it is 8 bars long, if i start from bar 5 it plays the sequence fine, but if i let it run from bar 1 it plays nothing after bar 4 has finished!
is that whats happening to you?

i cant believe this shit!

this is a crazy bug unless im missing something,,, which i dont think i am.
this is a sequencer goddamit! let me sequence!

are u using big loops if so remember thers a voice limit of 32, ive had this happen many of times if this is the case. ur gonna wanna resample tracks u make. if u know this already then im sorry im no help. but that is a weird issue u guys are havn. better write akai a letter of bugs

No, no, no !!

It was a simple 8 bars beat.


It CAN NOT be the voice limit !!!


If I separate just the snare track and play it SOLO - it's the same problem.

It plays only one snare hit on the 1.2 - then nothing - but the sequence is still runnin'.

The sequence plays it's 8 bars of NOTHING and then starts again with the 1.2 snare hit - then again NO SOUND.


BUT the midi data is definately there - I've checked it.

The track is perfectly recorded - snares on the 1.2, 1.4, 2.2, 2.4, etc.

but it plays only the one snare hit on the 1.2.

I even (even if there was no other data) ERASED every data EXCEPT NOTE on the snare track - doesn't help either.


I AM PRETTY SURE that this is some really weird BUG, that should be fixed really quick - because I can't rely on a machine that just let's my beats disappear - OR rather REFUSES to play them correctly.

For every minor bug there should be workable workarounds - BUT THIS just S*CKS.

I'm really desperate - because I really enjoy the new OS - but f*cked sequences are a BIG NO NO.

man ive just had to rewire my s950 into the studio so that i can load up the old OS and then i can reverse the samples!!!

then when it gets fixed the new OS is going on... its a sequencer goddamit! help

just loaded the old OS and same thing.... i re-record a sequence and same...
help....
seriously, anybody?

yo fasttracker i just heard ur track, damn dude that is weird how it just cuts off like that, that is strange. could it be a clip issue for u though? heres a geuss and i dont know maybe in global setting where u can choose the master level. change it back to default witch was -12db. thast mode+other then global. try setting it to 0 and see if it has same effect. for the other guys check ur sequence make sure if the decay was not messed with by some weird means, when i first got the os2 i noticed when im recording in step edit. the key i hit will change the decay of that note now im geussing here but just to be safe look at ur sequence make sure the decay isnt 0 check ur velocity as well make sure its not 0. i havent foold with the new lfo, im only in chapter11 page 58 in the manual. so when i get to it ill fool with it. it can be anything really. sorry im of no help

I found a workaround - it's so simple (I couldn't believe that I didn't have the idea sooner) !!!


It's not that perfectly elegant solution - BUT it works so don't ask.

At least your work will not be gone.


IT'S SO SIMPLE - just take an "empty" sequence and then COPY track by track from your faulty sequence to your new sequence !

AND THERE YA GO - you should be set and ready to go.

This is just plain weird.
