My production gear consist of an MPC 4000 and a MOTIF ES 6. I recently notice after composing a beat of 4 or more tracks, sometimes my playback struggles to playback the beat and studders to do so. It may be a sync problem but I'm not sure. Does anyone know how or what I can do to troubleshoot the problem or know a solution to correct the quality of playback.

Thanks,

I got the same problem with my motif es rack and my old Mpc 1000. You must change the midi file type ( change it to "0" ) in the Mpc 4000.
You can change it in the save mode window when you are saving your sequence.

Question...does this involve just the gear you're mentioning or is there a computer linked to this setup also?

I appreciate the response, the problem in which I've describe has no computer connected at the time of problem.

In response to the other comment:

You change the midi to "0". In the save mode. What does the midi "0" stand for?

Thanks, I appreciate your help.

the midi standard have two format : type 0 and type 1. this is almost the same. but

type 0 is a single track with all midi data without regards to his midi channel reference..

type1 is multi-track with all midi data and can be use on every sequencer ( well most of them except akai :p)
