pressing PLAY sometimes activates REC?

Is this a common issue with the 500? Like when I shopping for sounds and I'm hitting the play button to preview samples every now and then when i hit play the metronome will just start ticking as if I hit REC?

yeah it happens to me aswell.....

nuff said... at least I know now I ain't the only 1 with this issue. THANKS

yeah, all the time

I noticed the same prob when pressing play really fast while scrolling for different sounds.

Yeah, I've had this happen a number of times too. Bit annoying.

im guessing the button sensors are squashed too near to each other on this lil fella and akai didnt test it for one billion cycles, probably about 20-30 tops and then "PASS"
