MPC1k CPU overload (Pitch shifting)

Hi there

I'm doing some sweet real time pitch shifting on vocals with my MPC1000 JJ OS2XL.

However, sometimes the pitched audio suddenly gets delayed and distorted, so I guess I'm overloading the CPU(?). I'm playing a few tracks from the MPC at the same time as I'm doing pitch shifting


What can I do to minimize the CPU use, so my pitch shifting is stable.
I could try moving some of my tracks to my Octatrack, so I play fewer samples from the MPC memory, but do you think that would make a difference?

Cheers,

single sample triggering is not something that will likely overload the CPU unless they're on every tick.

someone mentioned quantizing qlink and CC info - i think this would be a great addition to SEQ edit or the TC screen. a lot of this data (a LOT) can slow down the CPU.

also, polyphony overload can do it.

anyone else know of other things that can do it?
