I need help in changing my time signeature back to 4/4. I changed it to 3/4 when I was bored, and I cannot change it back. What it does is changes it to 4/4 for maybe 1 bar or so, then changes back to 3/4.

what the ____ is going on???

almost forgot,
i have a mpc 2000xl

and another thing...
my nv slider doesnt work (i did the cleanup and tightening of the setup, still dont work) is it extremely expensive to get it repaired? or is it something like $20 expensive

peace

Your name says it all, haha, uhh nevermind.

What machine are you using, are u in song mode, seq mode or what?
Explain your setup so that someone who has a clue may help you out bro.
Explain exactly how you are going about doing this, maybe there's something you are missing in your technique and/or procedure..

funny

anyway

mpc 2000xl
i am in the mode where you press the "main screen" button
89.0 BPM (that won't change either)
32meg mem
zip100 internal drive
i sampled a few guitars, organs and drums and assigned them to the first 16 pads in pad bank A
nothing in the "step" mode (when you press F1 on the mainscreen)
I dont know what else to say
whenever i go to the top where is see "sq" and change it to "2 - unused" or whatever, it does the same thing

The funny thing is, I turn it off, start all over, sample something completely different. and it does the same damn thing.

Now, WHAT THE _____ IS GOING ON???????

Try pg 39 in the xl manual, it explains something that you
may be overlooking..
