i just got an mpc1000 with the new pads and purchased OS1 4.99. i have adjusted pad sensitivity as per the manual.

heres my issue:
if i have a 4 bar seq in 4/4, tc set to 16th notes, full level is off, click is on and i manually record 16th notes on one pad, when i play the seq back, some of the notes are inaudible. upon closer inspection, they are actually recorded as having a velocity value of 1.

if i do the same thing, but turn tc off, this does not occur. sometimes when i turn tc back on, it happens again.

seems related:
lets say i am playing 16th notes on one pad and i have full level ON, i can hear that some of the notes i am hitting are not being played.

i can get around this by using note repeat instead of playing the notes, but i prefer the feel of playing the notes. also i should note that these issues did not occur with the latest version of the AKAI os.

is this a bug or am i missing something? i will admit to having trouble understanding the non-native english in the manual.

peace

maybe try adjusting the "pad level on" setting to a higher value. that way pad those low velocity pad hits will be ignored.
i'm guessing you might be accidentally double triggering when you hit the pads, and if the pad (or the program) is set to mono, the last hit (the low velocity hit) is going to cancel out the earlier louder hit.


see if that helps, but it seems odd that you seem to have a similar issue even with full level on though....
