Was trying to record a sequence, full level set. I noticed that when I would hit the some of the pads to hard or in the wrong spot it would trigger one of the pads next to it as well if not instead. Took it apart to see if I needed to adjust the pads or if I needed new sensors. After that I turned it on to see what's going on and it would trigger the same sample for every pad along with the sample for that pad. It's probably the sensors the only question I have is when I press mode and the pad I need to use load/save/mixer ect. It takes me right where I need to go no problem. Anyone got any suggestions or ideas before I go and buy new sensors just to find out it was the programing or some shit?

Had the same thing a few months ago.

I cleaned the sheet with a moisty cloth and checked all the connections; made sure they were all still in place. Also the one underneath the sensor sheet. Did the trick for me.

before you spend money on new set of sensors, below trick is worth a shot. although it's suggested for dead pads it might help...I and few other forum members tried this on dead pads and it works. make sure you dont cut thru any of the circuit prints

Ended up just ordering the new sensors anyway, ended up working out. That's a pretty good trick though. I was nervous as **** trying to put that shit on just right, almost left an air bubble right in the center. Lucky I was able to mover it out from under the black square though.
