First problem:

If I use the function '16 tunings' for a sample something is wrong! The sound stops playing after I release another pad.. In other words, if I press to pads together and release 1, the other stops playing, without releasing it! Is this normal? :?:

Did you upgrade to OS 1.51 ?

hy ikke!

didn't notice your problem on my one - gonna test it and let u know - but have a similar problem which i would like to add here!

if i use 16 levels of tuning and note repeat simultaneously, velocity remains at its initial value! ... meaning you can't do a crescendo or decrescendo! if i push it hard at the beginning the sample is retriggered by note repeat all the way hard, if i push it low its retriggered low all the way, regardless if i change pushing strength on the pads! ... using only note repeat (without 16 tunings) its workin fine!

anyone else noticed that?

I have the same problem as you, ikke. I am also running 1.51. I've been messing with it to no avail...I'll let y'all know if I discover something. I wonder if it would happen if you recorded a sequence while using 16 levels and then played it back?

I figured it out! Its only happening when note off is inactive..

Can this be a bug? Or is this something Akai did on purpose? Hope they can fix this in the new OS! :idea:

Though it have to work! Cause when in Sample List View, you can trigger 1 looped samle with note off with all the pads..
