YOOOOOOO...What up sen.......Its Peace.......Aside from you F buttons bein dead how you been.....?

to me sounds like a bad solder job...if the soder touches any other circuits it can get fried...Look at the motherboard ...does it look like something burned out....

If thats not itr...then it could be the f's sensors .....But that kinda odd that it happened right when you fixed the mode......

hope you figure it out...

what up fam? i been hearin you been mad busy, heard obie was tryin to get at you at the bullfrog, that is dope!! I think i might go the expensive route and get a new PCB board with all the right switches.

Hope it works, its devastating not havin an MPC...

when i bought my mpc second hand, it several buttons didnt work on the right side, like 16 levels, next sequence, and some of the numbers.

i went in again to see what the problem might be, cant really see anything wrong, idk whats goin on. im hoping if a new board would do the trick
