Hi! I recently did a firmware update (and installed new pads) to a Akai MPC-1000 and I cannot get it to work as expected. I have reverted back to the original firmware & pads until I can figure this out, but I am desperately in need of help before I can proceed!
As a disclaimer, I did this for a user who is a basic user. He's owned the MPC since the early 2000's, and I have no previous experience with the MPC.
The issue I'm having is that I am unable to get the device to playback samples by pressing the pads. Using the F keys, I can record a sample, and play it by pressing and holding. Then I assign it to a pad by pressing the pad. But I get subsequently get no sample audio pressing the pad.
I feel that I am missing something obvious, but have no clue. I have tried reading the manual and watching you tube videos but to no avail. Am I missing a setup setting or what?? Please, please someone help! I am tortured!
