pads on mpc1000

I JUST BOUGHT A USED MPC1000 FROM GUITAR CENTER,UPGRADED IT WITH NO PROBLEM.BUT WHEN I FINALLY GOT SOME SOUNDS DOWNLOADED ITS KINDA HARD TO HEAR THEM.YOU SHOULDNT HAVE TO BEAT DOWN ON THE PADS LIKE DAT JUST TO HEAR SOMETHIN.I HAVE 7 DAYS TO TAKE IT BACK FOR A FULL REFUND,AND I ALSO HAVE A 1 YEAR WARRANTY.COULD IT JUST BE THE SENSITIVITY SETTINGS ON THE PADS? OR DO THEY SOUND BUSTED?? ANY ADVICE WOULD HELP,THANKS

Press full level bro..

nope.tried it.that only makes the ones that do work,a little louder.I went to the velocity screen and hit all the pads until they reached 127.but it doesnt permanently save the velocity.i didnt see a button to save it.

mode >pad 10
press f4

select pad sensitivity


got this info from page 101 of the manual.... not sure if it helps.

well after nothing worked,i took it back to guitar center and demanded an even exchange for a more expensive one.this one works just fine.even has the jj os upgrade.thanks 4 everyones help
